Falafel Jones - The Kewpie Killer

It's hard to be a tough investigative reporter when Mommy owns the paper, you lose your apartment, and you have to move back home. There's also no solace in your social life when you own at least one bridesmaid dress for every friend you have. Just ask rookie reporter, Raquel Flanagan.The night Raquel covers a carnival opening, a Bearded Lady of questionable gender finds a dead farmer planted next to a Kewpie doll. Both the farmer and the doll sport straw hats and overalls. Anxious to prove herself to Mom, who is a pathological perfectionist, Raquel locates reports of additional victims dead next to dolls that match their occupations.At first, no one believes Raquel's theory that a serial Kewpie Killer exists. Then Raquel meets and falls for Eddie Franklin, a cop working Kewpie Killings in Florida. Eddie can't leave his job, and Raquel's mom wants her to run the paper in New York. Raquel doesn't know what to do. She still hasn't found a place to live, and now someone's sending her Kewpie reporters with tape over the eyes and mouths.
