October 21, 2014 • 6 x 8 • 259 Pages • 978-1-56689-371-8
A whodunit without the who, this illustrated compendium of mayhem and misfortune spirals out from an investigation into two disappearances.
The Baltimore Atrocities is a mordant, deadpan collection of more than one hundred murders, betrayals, heartbreaks, suicides, and bureaucratic snafus—each with a half-page illustration by the author—that tells the story of a couple who spends a year in Baltimore in search of their respective siblings, who were abducted decades earlier as young children.
