Hank Howard, Pizza Detective: The Inside Job is a perfect issue to dive in and try a slice

Something’s rotten at Big Caligula’s Pizza, location #212 — and it’s not just last week’s mozzarella. Cash tips have fallen off a cliff, and the question on everyone’s lips is, why? Has service really gone downhill, or is there something, or someone, more sinister to blame?

Corporate smells trouble, and they’ve called in their best man for the job. Enter, Hank Howard. Armed with a mind as sharp as a tack, nerves of steel, and an ironclad stomach, Hank’s about to dive into a mystery hotter than a fresh-baked pie and his only lead won’t talk. Literally. It’s the location’s mascot, Biggie. The employees who don the oversized Roman Emperor garb are forbidden from talking in front of customers. Ruins the illusion for the kids.

Thankfully, Hank’s not flying solo. Location #212 just happens to be the stomping grounds of Hank’s old buddy, the pizza crust loving dog, Cali. Together, they’ll sniff out clues, chomp down leads, and uncover secrets that could rock the pizza world to its core.
