It’s hard being a regular police officer in
Galilee Falls, a city with the highest concentration of superheroes and
villains in the country. It’s even harder watching your best friend, the man
you’re secretly in love with your whole life, planning to marry another woman.
Detective Joanna Fallon has to contend with both. When the vilest supervillain
in the city’s history, Alkaline, the former crime boss who can shoot acid from
his wrists, escapes from the maximum security prison, the whole city is gripped
by panic.
Leading the pursuit is Captain Harry O’Hara,
Joanna’s boss and secret lover, and the city’s champion superhero Justice, who
caught the villain last time, much to Joanna’s chagrin. Before her father was
murdered in a mugging twenty years earlier, Joanna worshiped the hero, but when
he disappeared and failed to save her father, that adoration turned to contempt
for all supers.
After Alkaline attacks too close to home and
targets Joanna as his next victim, tough-as-nail Joanna has to contend with her
increasing fear while struggling to choose between her life-long crush and her
new-found love.
At turns vulnerable and fierce, equally mordant
and winsome, Joanna is an earnest yet emotionally damaged heroine, who despite
the tough breaks of her childhood sees the good in people and vow to protect
her beloved city at all costs. An ass-kicking petite firecracker with no
superpowers of her own, she charges after supervillains unflinchingly, never
losing her wit even when facing her toughest fight. With a coy blend of whimsy
and vivid imagination, she delivers both humor and thrills in an action-packed
and edgy blend of comic book cool, fantasy-noir, and bitter-sweet romance.
