Joe Crawford

Gold Medal Winner:Benjamin Franklin Award -Mystery/Thriller (2023)

In his world, everyone wears a mask.

When the actors who play iconic superheroes in big screen blockbusters start dying on set, Ken Allen, failed actor and neophyte detective, answers the call after the blame falls on effects expert Ray Ford, Ken's oldest friend.

But the deaths are not accidental. Someone is killing heroes. Maybe for love, maybe for money. Maybe for both. Ken Allen finds himself outmatched and outgunned when he learns that Ray Ford's banished apprentice makes weapons that are anything but props.

Praise for this book

"The nicely twisty plot builds toward a logical ending. Crawford's tongue-in-cheek parody of superhero films will delight many." --Publishers Weekly Online
". . . this polished pulp project is a futuristic private eye caper, effectively first-person, smart-assed-narrated by Tim Campbell . . . this breezy, unpretentious tale is well worth a listen." --Mystery Scene Magazine
