In the coastal city of A Coruña, private investigator Pepe Miguel is drawn into a mystery where old symbols, hidden motives, and buried histories begin to surface.
The Man in the Ball Cap is the creative anchor for JSM Cooperative’s first major impact campaign — a story that invites readers into both a mystery and a mission.
