Who Framed Roger Rabbit is the novelization or tie-in book based on the popular film that brilliantly blended live-action and animation. The story is a noir detective mystery set in 1947 Hollywood, where cartoons (known as "Toons") live alongside humans. When the cartoon star Roger Rabbit is framed for the murder of a powerful figure, he hires the alcoholic, cynical private detective Eddie Valiant to clear his name. The plot follows their race to uncover a complex conspiracy involving the nefarious Judge Doom, exploring themes of prejudice, corruption, and the blurring line between fantasy and reality.
