COSPLAY: The

Comic-Con Killer

Rookie cop Selma Cibolo passed the detective examination in record time. Assigned to the Homicide Division, she is forced to deal with age, gender, and resistance issues. Soon after her arrival, the police find a body in a dumpster behind the San Antonio Convention Center. Before the coroner can identify the body, Selma recognizes the cosplay character named Evie Frye. Old-school Detective Thorn Nix is only concerned with "real world" facts and has no intention of "chasing Batman down a rabbit hole!" On her own, Selma finds another victim killed during the previous annual comic-con. Selma identifies that victim as also being dressed as Evie Frye.

This discovery is still not enough to convince Nix. He formally orders Selma to stop wasting time on "such nonsense, and stick to the facts." Acting on a hunch, against orders, Selma calls a former schoolmate who is working in the Denver PD, where comic-con was just concluded. Yes, there was a murder during the event. Looking at the faxed crime scene photos, Selma identifies the Colorado victim as Evie Frye.

Someone keeps killing Evie Frye, but who and why?
