Too bad her new boss is the shady, chaotic Anthony Wight: private detective and alcoholic. But a job is a job, and Maggy could use the cash. Five days into her new role, Wight is beaten to a pulp and Maggy is tasked with returning his wallet. With this seemingly innocuous request, Maggy enters a sinister underworld of corrupt cops, crooked businessmen, and career criminals. There's a lot to investigate, from the disappearance of a family album to the theft of gold teeth from bodies at the crematorium. But for someone with the energy, ingenuity, and enterprising spirit of Maggy Garrison, puzzles are there to be solved--especially if there's money to be made in the process. <br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>STARRED REVIEW <p/><i>"Moody, modern noir stories are a dime a dozen, but Trondheim's knack for characterization and the wonderfully detailed and vividly colored illustrations from Oiry...elevate this one above the rest."</i>-- "Library Journal"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Lewis Trondheim </b>is a French comics writer, artist, and publisher.
