GUN HONEY BLOOD FOR BLOOD VOL. 1

She’s the best at what she does. She gets her client the weapon they need, where they need it, when they need it. They call her GUN HONEY. Joanna Tan thought she was planting a gun for a simple hit. But when it’s used in a deadly prison riot, Joanna is forced to work with U.S. government agent Brook Barrow to hunt down the perpetrator, a deadly scarred killer with a shadowy past. But finding him won’t be easy — and bringing him down may cost Joanna everything. Created by the award-winning Hard Case Crime co-founder Charles Ardai and drawn by breakout artist Ang Hor Kheng, GUN HONEY is a fast, sexy thrill ride for lovers of classic pulp and fearsome revenge thrillers.
