HONK HONK, MY DARLING:
A "Rex Koko, Private Clown" Mystery

It’s 1944, in a dingy, popcorn-strewn ghetto called Top Town.  Life is three balls for a nickel for the washed-up circus lifers there.  Every night, for the elmers from town, they provide thrills and chills, some wholesome, some not.  And witness to it all is Top Town’s most notorious resident, a tough joey with a deadly past and a nose for picking all the wrong fights: Rex Koko, Private Clown. 

Honk Honk, My Darling is the first volume of Rex Koko adventures.  In this side-splitting clown noir, Rex is on the hunt for the wayward wife of an arrogant aerialist.  But as he follows her trail, other high-flying daredevils meet grisly ends.  Who is killing these flyers with such flair?  What is Reynaldo Carlozo hiding about his wife?  Will gambling debts take the Club Bimbo away from its owner, former fat lady Lotta Mudflaps?  Can Rex avoid the violent clan of the Redd Brothers and solve this whole larry before someone brings the curtains down on him?

Babes!  Bullets! Banana peels!  Folks, this one’s got it all! Step right up and give it a whirl!  You’ve got nothing to lose except your sanity!
