It's 1975 and the comic book industry is struggling- but Carmen Valdez doesn't care. She's an assistant at Triumph Comics- which doesn't have the creative zeal of Marvel nor the buttoned-up efficiency of DC- but it doesn't matter. Carmen is tantalizingly close to fulfilling her dream of writing a superhero book. That dream is nearly a reality when one of the Triumph writers enlists her help to create a new character- which they call 'The Lethal Lynx-' Triumph's first female hero. But her colleague is acting strangely and asking to keep her involvement a secret. And then he's found dead- with all of their scripts turned into the publisher without her name. Carmen is desperate to piece together what happened to him- to hang on to her piece of the Lynx- which turns out to be a runaway hit. But that's complicated by a surprise visitor from her home in Miami- a tenacious cop who is piecing everything together too quickly for Carmen- and the tangled web of secrets and resentments among the passionate eccentrics who write comics for a living.
