1961, Illinois. Alex Poliac buries his wife Alice. That evening, he and his son flee their home. Not because he is a suspect in Alice’s death, but because a serial killer – The Clown – is prowling the state, and Alex knows how he picks his victims. A rough meeting with Laura, a friend of his wife, brings more questions: was Alice hiding something, with her mysterious phone calls and unexplained absences? Was her death really an accident?
The cover looks simple. Do not be fooled.  The interior art is superb and the story will have you asking a lot of questions -particularly about The Clown.  I was first struck by how this reminded me of one of the Halloween movies but that was it.
Not sure how long this series is set to last but I can't wait for volume 2 and the cover for that one has me dribbling...
