Issue Description

In this fast-paced, gritty murder mystery, Jack Herriman, a young private detective burdened with a checkered past, looks to begin his rebirth by taking on a simple missing persons case. But when the woman he is searching for turns up dead, the flawed detective delves into her family's past and uncovers a Pandora's box of dark secrets. Now struggling with the reemergence of his own issues of guilt and rage, Jack must navigate through a labyrinth of adultery, betrayal, and vengeance to piece together the buried truth of the past and discover the real identity of the killer.

Jack Herriman isn't the kind of guy to run away from a tough case, but the death of a young woman he was hired to find will test his limits. What starts as a simple missing persons case will lead him to down a cooked path of sex drugs and murder where the only thing more elusive than the killer is the truth, hiding among the emotional wreckage of the past.

Written by Ed Brubaker (DEADENDERS, An Accidental Death), with pencils by Michael Lark (TERMINAL CITY, Raymond Chandler's The Little Sister) and inks by Sean Phillips (THE INVISIBLES, HELL ETERNAL), SCENE OF THE CRIME is a realistic, modern take on the classic hard-boiled detective story in the spirit of Raymond Chandler and Ross Macdonald, served up in the inimitable VERTIGO style.
