With this seemingly innocuous request, Maggy enters a sinister underworld of bent cops, crooked businessmen and career criminals. There's a lot to investigate, from the disappearance of a family album to dodgy dealings in gold teeth. But for someone with the energy, ingenuity and enterprising spirit of Maggy Garrisson, puzzles are there to be solved - especially if there’s money to be made in the process.Eisner Awards 2020: Best Writer (nominated); Best U.S. Edition of International Material (nominated).
