DETECTIVE #1

A cold morning in The City: homicide detective Valencia Vallez wakes in a strange bed with a revolver in her hand and a corpse beside her — and no memory of how she got there. All she can hold onto is a list of names, the suspects in her husband's gangland killing. As she chases each lead, she paints a target on her own back, hunted by crooked cops and watched over by towering mechanical Judges that loom above the rain-soaked streets.

David and Maria Lapham, the Eisner-winning creators of Stray Bullets, build a neo-noir science-fiction world where every answer buries another question. The deeper Val digs into her missing past, the closer she comes to a secret she may not want to find — and to the identity of the Mastermind behind it all.
