Following a woman contending with the sexism of her industry (the comic book industry in 1970’s New York), SECRET IDENTITY explores what happens when protagonist Carmen’s work is stolen out from under her, and submitted to a publisher without her name appearing anywhere on it. I love books about books, but I can honestly say I’ve never read a crime novel about comic books—and I can’t wait to rectify that! SECRET IDENTITY looks poised to deliver all the thrills you could want, plus a compelling protagonist you’ll be cheering for every step of the way and a highly-unique storytelling structure. (This book gives readers a glimpse into the comic book that our protagonist has been working on—yes, there are actual comic book pages in this novel, and they are stunning!)
