Written by acclaimed author Megan Abbott (You Will Know Me, TV writer on HBO’s The Deuce - created by The Wire's David Simon), and bestselling crime novelist Alison Gaylin (What Remains Of Me), with artwork by Steve Scott (Batman, X-Men Forever, JLA).

When her younger sister is found at the center of a brutal murder investigation, tough-as-nails Sheriff Normandy Gold is forced to dive headfirst into the seedy world of 1970s prostitution and soon discovers a twisted conspiracy leading right to the White House.
