LOS ANGELES, CA – From award-winning, lauded author Sarah Gailey (Know Your Station, Eat the Rich) and fan favorite artist Haining (Absolute Flash) comes an all-new, mind-bending thriller about community in Neighborhood Watch.
Jill Hewett, community leader and wife of a respected police officer, has turned up dead with a gunshot wound in a tunnel connecting the Will Harbor Gated Community with the neighboring Open Arms Collective.
And now, the VP of the HOA and the Kitchen Steward of the Collective have stumbled upon her body at the exact same time—instantly casting blame across the already fragile divide.
Forced into an uneasy alliance to uncover the truth, they’ll need to work together to unearth the secrets both communities hold to figure out who’s responsible for the crime—and what they could possibly gain from it.
And just what was Jill doing in the tunnel in the first place?
