By Jessica Mann

In 1929, a decadent artist known only as Rex disappeared when his caravan was destroyed by fire.

But what is the connection between Rex and Watchwomen? And are the individual watchwomen as innocent as they seem?

Hoyland follows a serpentine trail through an investigation that proves her as subtle and ruthless as her quarry…
