SummaryA cutting-edge mystery novel that combines the
illustrations of Batman artist Terry Beatty with a New York
Times bestelling author.
Manhattan, 1948. America's most famous ex-striptease artist,
glamorous Maggie Starr, now runs her late husband's
newspaper syndicate, distributing the Wonder Guy comic
strip. Wonder Guy, soaring superhero, represents all that is
good about postwar America. But when the cartoon character's
publisher winds up dead, Maggie finds herself working with
her stepson Jack Starr (also her V.P. and chief
troubleshooter) to find a killer among cartoonists, wives,
mistresses and minions of a different sort of
"syndicate"—suspects with motives that are anything but
superheroic.
