Neighborhood Watch

A dark mystery unravels when a body is found between two women's homes—and the secrets behind it will change their communities forever.

Available for the first time in one volume, this graphic novel from Hugo Award–winning writer Sarah Gailey and artist Haining unearths the secrets a neighborhood has long buried.

When Jill Hewett disappears from two neighboring communities, Val and Bianca each set out to find her—only to collide in a buried tunnel system beneath the hill that secretly links their homes. What they uncover there is far more shocking than her disappearance: A body, a hidden chamber, and the revelation that the woman they’ve been searching for is the same person, living two separate lives on opposite sides of the divide.

Thrown together by this bombshell discovery, Val and Bianca are plunged into a mystery that exposes the dark history of their communities and the dangerous forces determined to keep those secrets buried…

Experience the gripping series from bestselling, award-winning writer Sarah Gailey (Eat the Rich, Know Your Station) and superstar artist Haining (Gotham City Sirens: Unfit for Orbit, Absolute Flash) in this first-ever complete collection.
