The first graphic novel adaptation from master of psychological suspense
Jonathan Kellerman brings a stunning new visual edge to the classic New
York Times bestseller Silent Partner--a "harrowing tale of murder and
manipulation" (The Plain Dealer) that "hits the reader right between
the eyes" (Los Angeles Times Book Review).
Alex Delaware is struggling to keep his relationship with girlfriend
Robin Castagna alive when a beautiful face from the past suddenly steps
back into his life. Sharon Ransom was Alex's lover back in the
day--until her mind games and increasingly erratic behavior drove them
apart. Now Sharon tries to rekindle old feelings and seek his help with
some new troubles. Alex turns her away--a decision he bitterly regrets
when Sharon ends up dead the next day.
The official ruling is suicide, but for Alex the case won't be closed
until he finds out what happened. Driven by guilt and grief, he plunges
deep into the territory he knows best--where dark secrets, dangerous
fears, and twisted needs prey on hearts and minds. With the aid of his
trusted friend, homicide cop Milo Sturgis, Alex traces Sharon's fatal
path through a world of Hollywood high life riddled with scandal,
corruption, and blood--where innocence and lives are easily lost.
Scripted by Ande Parks, author of the acclaimed graphic novels Union
Station and Capote in Kansas, and illustrated by Marvel and DC comics
veteran Michael Gaydos, Silent Partner captures Jonathan Kellerman's
trademark blend of crime drama and psychodrama with noirish style and
eye-catching, page-turning intensity.
