“I’m beyond thrilled that Chachu is heading into a second printing,” said Vellani. “Thank you a million times over to every reader and retailer for supporting me and my collaborators by picking up this book. Watching people connect with this story has been one heck of a treat.”

Inspired by her own coming-of-age experiences in the entertainment industry, this all-new, five issue miniseries, produced by Tiny Onion, reinterprets the classic neo-noir private investigator story for a new generation of readers.

Set in 1979, Chachu follows Leila, a 19-year-old Pakistani-Canadian girl with a penchant for film and pulp novels, who travels to California hoping to connect with her estranged uncle—her “Chachu”—a middle-aged, semi-retired private eye once famous for marrying the starlet he was initially hired to find. But when his wife mysteriously vanishes once again, the two are forced on an impromptu road trip investigation that transforms her first taste of adulthood into a thrilling confrontation of family secrets, unresolved grief, and the fantasies both she and Chachu have built their lives around.
