Includes:

Mister Jinnah: Securities – Mister Jinnah #1

But when he and another Tribune reporter begin competing to cover the story of a shady stock promoter#8217;s death, he finds himself embroiled in a murder investigation.

She Demons – Mister Jinnah #2
How can an enterprising newspaper reporter sell his Babji dolls when there’s a beheaded street youth, a Rave Messiah battling a berserk God Squad, and a conniving new editor to deal with? Especially when hes suffering all the symptoms of dengue fever? Hakeem Jinnah, the chain-smoking, headline-chasing hypochondriac, is in a race to find a killer and help save his buddy Sergeant Graham’s career. But a bevy of She Demons bedevil him at each turn. Soon Jinnah is entangled in a cultic web that threatens his friends, his family, and his life.

Pizza 911 – Mister Jinnah #3
Mister Jinnah returns — just in time to skip town, forever!
