Margaret is determined to discover whether her father's drowning four years ago was an accident or suicide. Her first-person narration alternates with brief chapters that follow a boy named Boyd, who is enthralled with a series of creepy comic books. Margaret and Boyd eventually cross paths, discovering a fateful connection between their two obsessions in this intriguing and offbeat mystery.
