This 300 page graphic mystery novel came out a couple years back, and we've been selling it in the shop, but it was only when the follow-up volume in the Hobtown Mystery Stories, The Cursed Hermit, came out recently that we realized we had failed to post on the site.  So, here it is!

Conundrum tantalizingly describes this as, "Nancy Drew meets David Lynch in this mystery thriller set in a remote and eerie east-coast village."  Want to know more?  Here's the rest of the Conundrum promotional text:  "The story follows a gang of young teens who have made it their business to investigate each and every one of their town’s bizarre occurrences as The Teen Detective Club (a registered afterschool program). Their small world of missing pets and shed-fires is turned upside down when real-life kid adventurer and globetrotter Sam Finch comes to town and enlists them in their first real case—the search for his missing father. In doing so, he and the teens stumble upon a terrifying world of rural secret societies, weird-but-true folk mythology, subterranean lairs, and an occultist who can turn men into dogs. The Case of The Missing Men is at turns funny, intriguing, eerie and endearing, and is beautifully illustrated in a style reminiscent of children’s pulp classics like Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys."
