Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips are not slowing down. Night Fever arrives later this month, and now we learn there is a new murder mystery tale on the way in December 2023.
“This is a story I’ve been trying to find a way to tell for half my life,” said Brubaker in a press release. “Inspired by a bunch of wild things that happened when I was a teenager in Southern California—from small time crimes to a murder plot—this book is kind of a diorama of a crime scene, with all the action confined to one small neighborhood… And it even comes with a map. I can’t wait for our readers to get their hands on this one, just in time for the Holidays.”
A boarding house full of druggies. A neglected housewife. A young girl who thinks she’s a superhero. A cop who wants to be left alone. And a Private Detective looking for a runaway girl. These stories all collide one deadly summer in Where The Body Was—a tale of love and murder in the suburbs—told from a dozen different points of view. All the neighbors on the block have an opinion about the murder and how it happened, but which of them is telling the truth?
Where the Body Was arrives on December 12, 2023.
