Then somebody stole a quarter million dollars worth of rare comic books. And then people started getting murdered. Lindsey and Plum were like oil and water, but they had to work together, like it or not! Joe Gores, author of Hammett and other novels, said: "Lupoff writes with intelligence, humor, wisdom, and a zest for life. He had a lot of fun writing this book, and it shows; because of it, we have a lot of fun reading it." The Comic Book Killer is the first volume in Richard A. Lupoff's hugely popular Lindsey-and-Plum series. Readers will cheer the return of these grand characters and their exciting investigations.
