The Fog of War
Baghdad, 2003. The reign of Saddam Hussein is over. The Americans are in
command. And no one is in control.
Former cop turned military contractor Christopher Henry knows that
better than anyone. He's in country to train up a new Iraqi police
force, and one of his recruits has just been murdered. With civil
authority in tatters and dead bodies clogging the streets, Chris is the
only person in the Green Zone with any interest in finding out who
killed him--or why.
Chris's inquiry brings him first to Sofia, an American-raised Iraqi who
now sits on the governing council, and then to Nassir, a grizzled
veteran of Saddam's police force--and probably the last real
investigator left in Baghdad.
United by death but divided by conflicting loyalties, the three must
help one another navigate the treacherous landscape of post-invasion
Iraq in order to hunt down the killers. But are their efforts really
serving justice--or a much darker agenda?
Inspired by his real-life experiences as a CIA operations officer in
Iraq, New York Times bestselling writer TOM KING joins forces with
celebrated artist MITCH GERADS to deliver a wartime crime thriller like
no other. The Sheriff of Babylon collects all 12 issues of the
groundbreaking series and features an introduction by King and an
afterword by Gerads, as well as a special gallery of preliminary artwork
from Gerads and cover artist JOHN PAUL LEON.
