LAST RIDE OF PILLAR & PRYDE (2022)

When Ben Pillar and Eli Pryde were kids, they did something incredible. They saved a young girl's life and stopped a madman. They were heroes. But that was a long time ago. Now, with their career as young adult adventure novelists in decline, and their friendship in similar dire straits, the pair embark on a road trip back to their old hometown in hopes of mending their relationship. But a new evil has emerged in the town of Tarragon Falls. Can Pillar and Pryde be heroes again? Written by John Lees (And Then Emily Was Gone, Oxymoron: The Loveliest Nightmare, The Standard) and illustrated by Joe Mulvey (Scam, Happy Hill, Wailing Blade), lifelong friends embark on a road trip back to Tarragon Falls where evil has set up camp.

People are disappearing and dying in Tarragon Falls, and private investigator Ana Guillén is convinced a masked killer known as Byrd is responsible. With the authorities refusing to take her seriously, Ana turns to local celebrities Ben Pillar and Eli Pryde for help. But though they write books about solving mysteries, this real-life case may turn out to be far more sinister...

After years of writing stories about it, Ben Pillar and Eli Pryde have found themselves neck-deep in a mystery. But as dead bodies continue to pile up, and the impossible seems to become reality, Ben and Eli soon realize they are in over their heads. And what does the yoga retreat in the woods, run by the enigmatic Jan Koenig, have to do with it all?

Embattled and under siege, with their lives in danger, Ben Pillar and Eli Pryde learn that the threat facing them may have roots in their own personal history, and the events that first brought them together. Now, Ben and Eli must come to terms with their crumbling relationship if they're ever to get out of their grave situation alive
