Brian Michael Bendis, the New York Times bestselling co-creator of Miles Morales, Naomi, Jessica Jones, and POWERS teams up with Manhunter writer Marc Andreyko for this gripping true tale of Eliot Ness’ hunt for America's first serial killer: Cleveland's torso killer! Cleveland. 1935. Eliot Ness, fresh from his legendary Chicago triumph over Al Capone and associates, set his sights on Cleveland. He went on a crusade that matched, and sometimes even surpassed, his past accomplishments. But dismembered body parts started washing up in a concentrated area of Lake Erie Sound. Headless torsos that left no clues to their identity or reason for death. Eliot Ness and his colorful gang of The Unknowns chased this killer through the underbelly of Cleveland for years. As far as the public was concerned, he was never captured. But what really happened is even more shocking. This 1999 Eisner Award-winner for Comic Book Excellence is re-designed in this latest edition to the Dark Horse/Jinxworld library!

"Part of a human torso washes up on a beach near Goteborg, Sweden. It is so mutilated that gender is only established by DNA testing. A similar crime, now several years old, remains unsolved in Denmark." "Detective Inspector Irene Huss, a wife and mother as well as a member of the Swedish Violent Crimes Unit, is called upon to liaise with the police in Copenhagen. There she finds a clue: a beautifully rendered sign for a gay sex shop which is very like the tattoo on the mutilated torso." "Then a third murder takes place, and a fourth, and these new victims are connected to Inspector Huss. She begins to fear that the killer is tracking her, targeting her acquaintances. There is a chilling suggestion that he - or she - is one of her colleagues."--BOOK JACKET.
