Hank Howard, Pizza Detective: The Inside Job #1

New York Times bestselling author Robert Venditti (Superman '78) and world-renowned comic legend David Lapham (Stray Bullets) deliver an essential new crime entry. At Big Caligula's Pizza, location no. 212, something is off — and it's not just last week's mozzarella. Bar tips are tanking, and everyone's asking: why? Has the service really gotten worse, or is something — or someone — sinister behind it?

Corporate smells trouble and sends their best man: Hank Howard. With a razor-sharp mind, nerves of steel, and an iron-clad stomach, he dives into a mystery hotter than a freshly baked pizza. Too bad his only lead isn't allowed to speak — literally: branch mascot Biggie. Employees in oversized Roman emperor outfits are forbidden from speaking in front of customers — it would shatter the illusion for the kids.

Luckily, Hank isn't alone: location 212 is the turf of his old buddy, the pizza-crust-loving dog Cali. Together they sniff out leads, nibble through clues, and uncover secrets that could shake the pizza world to its core.
