Marcy Addwatter killed her husband. Shot him dead in the motel room where he was trysting with a blonde hooker. Shot the hooker, too. But where the cops might see an open-and-shut case, private eye Michael Tree—Ms. Michael Tree—sees a conspiracy. For Ms. Tree, digging into it could mean digging up her own murdered husband’s grave…and maybe digging her own.
Based on the longest-running private-eye comic book series of all time, Deadly Beloved brings you the first-ever prose adventure of the legendary Ms. Tree—the groundbreaking female P.I. who put the ‘graphic’ into graphic novel.
“The big, bloody bouquet one would expect from the author of Road to Perdition. Sharp and satisfying.”
