Former striptease artist Maggie Starr continues "stripping" by distributing comic strips through her late husband's newspaper syndicate. When the heated rivalry between a pair of her cartoonists ends in homicide, Maggie and her stepson, Jack, turn detective. Together they seek the killer among a rogues' gallery of loan sharks, jealous husbands, bitter artists, and other suspects. Max Allan Collins' fast-paced romp through a flavorful era in comic strip history is enriched by Terry Beatty's atmospheric illustrations. Softcover, 5 1/2-in. x 8 1/2-in., 288 pages, Text. Cover price $9.95.
