Secret Identity by Alex Segura

 

This is a good book. The mystery is solid and well-told, and the setting--the comics industry in 1975, when it looked as if the whole thing was spiraling the drain, in New York, when it looked as if it were spiraling the drain--is well conveyed. It's a distinctly queer story, in addition to a starkly feminist one, both of which are cool and socially necessary. There's a fair amount of carefully-researched inside baseball comics history deployed, here, but you don't need to know it for the story to work (I don't, and it did). It's not perfect, but it's a good read.
