One has PTSD, the other is schizophrenic. Together, they fight crime . . . in a downbeat and depressing story about two police detectives unraveling as they pursue a case against organized crime and political corruption in 1940s Little Rock, Arkansas.

Based on a true story, it wanders off in unsatisfying directions at the end and has a whiff of the supernatural for some reason, but it is still pretty well done. (

Disclaimer on the rating: I work for the publisher and actually worked on this book. It's real damn good, though. Part of my job involves looking at color proofs and it definitely took me much longer than it should have because I kept reading the pages. (

Epigraph

Dedication

This book is for the dead, and for the survivors. May they know peace. - Van Jensen

My work on this book is dedicated to restless souls, living and dead, in the twin communities that birthed and shaped me. Little rock and North Little Rock: my comics will always be equal parts love letter, anchor, and reckoning with you. - Nate Powell
