Description
Helen Keremos, private eye for hire, is tired of the Toronto rat-race and is eager to return to her quiet life in Vancouver.
But, the newly wealthy - and extremely beautiful - songstress Sonia Deerfield is being blackmailed by an unknown harasser and requests Helen's services as personal bodyguard and detective.
The money's good, and the client is charming, so Helen agrees reluctantly. Meeting Sonia's inner circle, it's clear that someone close to the singer isn't as loyal as she believes...
But with an obsessive best friend, a panicked assistant, a cocky ex-husband, a swooning would-be beau, an estranged uncle, and manipulative music executives all as options, Helen has to use every bit of her wits to discover the truth behind the web of lies. With her own life soon in danger, Helen races against the clock to discover which of Sonia's friends wants her dead, before it's too late for them both!
A new graphic novel adaptation of the long-lost classic pulp novel that features the first openly lesbian detective in fiction.
