New York City, 1941. Ezra Cain is a private investigator with a

reputation for taking it on the chin if it means solving a case. But it's

his former life as an archaeology student that makes him the only

man to track down an artifact that's gone missing from the Museum

of Natural History…an ancient anvil said to hold the power of the

Greek god Hephaestus. If someone could harness that power, they

could bend nations to their will. Science fiction quickly becomes

Cain's reality when a shadowy sect calling themselves the Brutal Dark

appears in the city wielding resources that defy human logic. Now

Ezra is the only thing that stands between them and their plot to

overthrow America!

Writer Chris Condon and artist Jacob Phillips, creators of the hit

series That Texas Blood and The Enfield Gang Massacre, introduce us to

a private eye whose business is exposing our deepest secrets…but on

this job, he'll learn that some mysteries are better off buried!
