Antiques Con

A trip to a New York comic-book convention pits antiques dealers against a villain: “Brandy and her eccentric mother make a hilarious team of snoops.”—Joan Hess   Small-town Iowa sleuths Brandy and Vivian Borne—with their trusty shih tzu, Sushi—head for a Big Apple comics convention to sell a rare 1940s Superman drawing. When an intruder breaks into their hotel suite, their madcap Manhattan misadventure is only beginning. Soon the out-of-towners stumble onto a murder victim impaled by a pen-shaped award. Villains abound—from cartoonists to crime bosses—creating a jumble of clues. But Brandy and Vivian will leave no comic-book page unturned in their race to trap a ruthless killer.   “The exploits of the ditzy heroines remain endlessly amusing.”—Kirkus Reviews   “Fans of the series will enjoy the banter between this pair of engaging characters.”—Booklist   “Humorous… Tips about comics collecting add to the cozy fun.”—Publishers Weekly  Don't miss Brandy Borne's tips on antiques!
