    "Deke Kotto is a make-up-the-rules-as-you-go street cop with a marriage on the skids from his many dalliances and a disabled son he dotes on. Tim Brady is a happily married FBI agent who likes to bowl and figures to one day retire from the Bureau with his pension. But when forces conspire to send them both undercover, they end up working the same case from opposite sides. As Kotto delves into corporate espionage and white collar crime, Brady finds himself loving the hip hop street hustle...neither knowing who the other man really is and both in way over their heads...and headed for an inevitable showdown. But each figures to 'cowboy up' when the time comes. That is, if everything doesn't blow up first."--P. [4] of cover.

    A gritty, graphic pulp fiction about the temptation, damnation and redemption of Frank Grissel, an aging, hard-knuckled private eye--and a deeply closeted homosexual, set in the very real world of 1953 San Francisco. Aided by his long-suffering secretary (and sometime live-in lover) Loretta, Grissel's search for a runaway girl winds up with him becoming a suspect in a string of gruesome murders. The case takes twists and turns through the Golden Gate's greasy underbelly: the beguiling arms of Chinese shipping heiress (and smuggler) Lady Tze; an unexpected reunion with Betty Grey, the daughter he abandoned long ago; the loss of Loretta to the sadistic clutches of the high-powered "Colonel;" and finally the horrifying gender-bending truth about the runaway and the murders and all those missing organs. Frank also confronts his own "horrifying truth," earning his daughter's forgiveness and, perhaps, the love of another man.

    Written by Jason Starr Art by Mick Bertilorenzi Cover by Lee Bermejo "Starr has a hard-edged style that is clean, cold and extremely chilling." - Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times It's summer in New York, but a "chill" has settled over the city - a serial killer is on the loose, and the ritualized murders are becoming increasingly sadistic. The NYPD and the FBI have a suspect: a gorgeous young woman named Arlana. The only problem is that every witness provides a different description of her. None of it makes any sense to anyone except Martin Cleary, a beaten-down Irish cop from Boston with a whopper of a secret in his past - and a past that may go back a century or two . . .
