"This stranger-than-fiction saga thrives thanks to spectacular design choices: ' Dick Tracy' -esque hard-boiled cartooning; rugged, mechanical typefaces; and a bevy of files, folders, and miscellaneous paperwork come together to form a fabulous criminal collage. A compulsively readable series debut. " -- Kirkus Reviews "Sporting a comic book' s sensibility with a Common Core State Standard' s love of primary documents and a narrative voice you' d follow to the ends of the earth, THIS is what we need to see more of, people!" -- Fuse #8 Blog/School Library Journal
