  • Pizza 911 A Mister Jinnah Mystery

    Creator

    Hauka, Donald J.

    Abstract

    In the third Mister Jinnah adventure, Hakeem Jinnah’s smoking hot story could be his last. The Tribune’s editor-in-chief can kiss Hakeem Jinnah’s ass goodbye! His bags are packed and he’s off to Africa as king of his own Burger Palace. That is, until a charred, dismembered body is discovered in a pizza oven. The lure of one last front-page byline is too much for Jinnah to resist ... even if it turns out to be his own obituary. Pizza 911 puts the perpetually puffing, politically incorrect Jinnah on the trail of a vicious killer in a chase that takes him from Vancouver to Tanzania.
