Alec Smart Mystery #3. "Fans of Donald E. Westlake will love this wild comic caper!" -ComiCaper. When a 13-year-old comic book magnate hires detective Alec Smart to find a rare Batman book stolen from his collection, the curious request sends the dysfunctional duo on an odd odyssey navigating the dangerous straits of chaotic comic book conventions, crooked dealers and crazed parents...one of whom is determined to bed him, and the other, to run him down with his car. And when Smart isn't being tossed off the top of multi-story structures or dealing with his girlfriend's infidelity, he's engaged in a perilous, life-sized game of Pac-Man played out in the streets of his small town. Can he get the book-and his girlfriend-back without serious injury to his body or his ego?
