From Anthony Award-winning writer Alex Segura comes Secret Identity, a rollicking literary mystery set in the world of comic books.
Itβs 1975 and the comic book industry is struggling, but Carmen Valdez doesnβt care. Sheβs an assistant at Triumph Comics, which doesnβt have the creative zeal of Marvel nor the buttoned-up efficiency of DC, but it doesnβt matter. Carmen is tantalizingly close to fulfilling her dream of writing a superhero book.
That dream is nearly a reality when one of the Triumph writers enlists her help to create a new character, which they call βThe Lethal Lynx,β Triumph's first female hero. But her colleague is acting strangely and asking to keep her involvement a secret. And then heβs found dead, with all of their scripts turned into the publisher without her name. Carmen is desperate to piece together what happened to him, to hang on to her piece of the Lynx, which turns out to be a runaway hit. But thatβs complicated by a surprise visitor from her home in Miami, a tenacious cop who is piecing everything together too quickly for Carmen, and the tangled web of secrets and resentments among the passionate eccentrics who write comics for a living.
Alex Segura uses his expertise as a comics creator as well as his unabashed love of noir fiction to create a truly one-of-a-kind novel--hard-edged and bright-eyed, gritty and dangerous, and utterly absorbing.
