Hank Howard, Pizza Detective: A Slice of Life #2

(W) Robert Venditti (A) David Lapham

New York Times best-selling writer Robert Venditti (SUPERMAN ’78, PLANET DEATH) and world-renowned comics legend, David Lapham (STRAY BULLETS, THE HERO TRADE), hit the accelerator in the explosive finale to their two-part, high-stakes action extravaganza.

While Detective Hank Howard was busy getting hot and heavy with an old flame, Big Caligula customer George Horvath’s body grew colder than day-old pizza. Now, South Florida’s favorite regional pizza chain is under fire, assailed by wrongful death accusations from the grieving widow he left behind. But something smells fishy, and it’s not the anchovies. Hank knows Horvath was murdered by someone looking to get their palm greased and he’s out to prove it. Locked in a deadly game of cat and mouse, Hank must brave a den of thieves – The Gasparilla Pirate Festival – to hunt down the killer and bring them to justice. But he better stay frosty because someone’s packing heat and this festival promised fireworks.
