Description
A murder mystery set in pandemic-era Virginia, where a young web designer attempts to uncover who shot and killed her brother--and why the murderer decided to use a silver bullet, from the author of Blurry and Discipline.

Like Swimmers opens during the Covid summer of 2020, when Richmond-based web designer Mackenzie wakes up to find her younger brother Howie dead in their apartment. An autopsy reveals a startling cause: Howie was killed by a silver bullet.

With no help from a police force overwhelmed by protest and plague, Mackenzie turns sleuth and goes on the hunt for an answer to what she believes is a simple question: who murdered Howie?

But what seems straightforward to her isn't to anyone else. Howie's deadbeat friends aren't even sure Howie was murdered: what if he just killed himself? Undeterred, Mackenzie suspects the cryptic Isa, who Howie was running errands for before his death. Was she Howie's lover? Or just the focus of Howie's unrelenting obsession? Mackenzie will follow all the threads--from Howie's time as a courier during the worst of Covid to the sleazy machinations of Isa's professor husband--all the way to a startling and brutal conclusion.

Dash Shaw, fresh off the acclaimed Blurry, delivers a fast-paced mystery in lush painted color that delves into loss, calamity, and whether we ever really know the people we love.
