The Black Diamond Detective Agency

John Hardin is a desperate man. When a train carrying official US currency paper explodes in his town, he´s the prodigious Black Diamond Detective Agency´s sole suspect. John is innocent, but his wife is missing, his old friends are coming back to haunt him--with guns and explosives--and he´s on the run through rural Missouri. THE BLACK DIAMOND DETECTIVE AGENCY is based on the historical journals of Arthur James Quindlen, the agency´s founder. Adapted and illustrated with watercolor art by Eddie Campbell, this graphic novel brings a new perspective to that time in America when small farmers were the backbone of the country, graft was rampant, and railroads thundered through western towns.
