Comics Sans may be appropriate for many things*, but “a sizzling, action-packed detective story” isn’t one of them. (h/t Betty Smith)
*Okay, that’s a lie.

Look at this description:
What do a Palestinian gunman in Hamburg, an al-Qaida operative in Amsterdam, a Saudi bomber in Montreal and an American self-proclaimed “Prophet of the People” with a WMD and bad intentions have in common? Dr. Thomas Bowin, noted neuroscientist and occasional government-sanctioned assassin, is on a mission to hunt them down. Add the Prophet’s naked handmaiden, a seductive spy and a beautiful Royal Canadian Special Operations Command major. Tom Bowin’s adventures are as interesting as they are violent.
Now look at that cover again.
It’s not actually a bad cover… until you see that the book is described as a “taut psychological thriller.” Then no.
Described as “a cross between Jurassic Park and The Da Vinci Code,” which is TOTALLY NOT the impression the cover gives.
Comics Sans is always a bad choice anyway, but so much worse on a novel about violence, addiction, and gambling.
