With the case growing colder by the day and desperate for any kind of breakthrough, the victim’s mother turns to private investigators Donovan Bay and Michelle Bentley. They dig in immediately, but the more they dig, the worse the victim looks, the more potential suspects they find, and the deeper the mystery becomes. SECOND WEDNESDAY is the debut novel from veteran graphic novelist J.C. Vaughn (24, Stargate Atlantis, Vampire, PA).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Lean, muscular, vivid prose in the best noir tradition. J.C.
