An autopsy reveals a startling cause: Howie was killed by a silver bullet.\u0026amp;nbsp;With no help from a police force overwhelmed by protest and plague, Mackenzie turns sleuth and goes on the hunt for an answer to what she believes is a simple question: who murdered Howie?But what seems straightforward to her isn\u0026amp;rsquo;t to anyone else. Howie\u0026amp;rsquo;s deadbeat friends aren\u0026amp;rsquo;t even sure Howie was murdered: what if he just killed himself? Undeterred, Mackenzie suspects the cryptic Isa, who Howie was running errands for before his death. Was she Howie\u0026amp;rsquo;s lover? Or just the focus of Howie\u0026amp;rsquo;s unrelenting obsession? Mackenzie will follow all the threads\u0026amp;mdash;from Howie\u0026amp;rsquo;s time as a courier during the worst of Covid to the sleazy machinations of Isa\u0026amp;rsquo;s professor husband\u0026amp;mdash;all the way to a startling and brutal conclusion.\u0026amp;nbsp;Dash Shaw, fresh off the acclaimed Blurry, delivers a fast-paced mystery in lush painted color that delves into loss, calamity, and whether we ever really know the people we love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e New York Review Books\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWriter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dash Shaw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"New York Review Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42634153459787,"sku":"9798896231059","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1334\/1579\/files\/9798896231059.jpg?v=1780956474","url":"https:\/\/comiccity.com\/products\/like-swimmers-9798896231059","provider":"Comic City","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
