(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Nick Bertozzi. Jack Fair tries to find his missing aunt with the help of the famous director Alfred Hitchcock. Rife with allusions to Hitchcock's body of work (explained in the back matter), chapter-opening storyboard panels that foreshadow the action, and a wonderfully evoked 1950s–San Francisco setting, this clever mystery is dogged by a leisurely paced plot.
