Murder Mysteries

by Neil Gaiman

Murder Mysteries Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Neil Gaiman and P. Craig Russell team up for the first time since the award-winning fiftieth issue of Gaiman?s Sandman series (nine years ago!). In Murder Mysteries, the two artists once again venture into the world of myth and angels. Constructing and maintaining all of heaven and earth is an intense task which God has divided up among the various ranks and stations of angels. As with any endeavor as large as that, there are bound to be casualties. This unique passion play sheds light on the hands behind creation, as well as one lonely man in Los Angeles who gets to hear the whole story of a most unspeakable crime — a murder in paradise. P. Craig Russell adapts Neil Gaiman?s poignant short story with the subtlety and grace which earned him two Eisner Awards last year for his work on Dark Horse?s Ring of the Nibelung series. The reunion of these two legendary comics creators is a guaranteed masterpiece.

Synopsis:

In this mystery noir set in heaven's City of Angels before the fall, the first murder has been committed. While the angelic hosts labor to create the world, one of their number has been killed by one of their own. Lucifer dispatches Raguel, Angel of Vengeance, to find the culprit. Also included is an interview with the author and two fantasy stories, "Chivalry" and "Troll Bridge."
