Here, a host of unlikely characters -- time-travelling David Bowie, Rasputin, Nosferatu, Marlene Dietrich, and more -- are all connected by a group of Dadaists who perform the art of rationality through madness. In \"The Magritte Affair,\" a wisecracking pair of detectives must crack a case involving art forgeries, masked men, and mysterious disappearances -- all linked to the surrealist world of the famous Belgian painter. Finally, in \"Sweet Dreams,\" Jason reimagines the New Wave artists of the 1980s as \u003cem\u003eX-Men\u003c\/em\u003e-esque superheroes. While this supergroup easily dispatches such supernatural threats as living mummies, animated suits of armor, and rampaging golems, they soon face their biggest challenge yet, as a giant meteorite hurtles toward the Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 9.6 x 7.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 16, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47211683545337,"sku":"9798875001253","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/KpPS6KC3Sp9798875001253_4cb41ac2-0578-4ef3-bb13-bc1e71bb73f5.webp?v=1768084105","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/death-in-trieste-hardcover-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
