Powers: The Secret History of Deena Pilgrim by Brian Michael Bendis
Homicide Detective Deena Pilgrim left behind her old life in Atlanta years ago to join her partner Christian Walker in investigating homicide cases in a city where perps and victims boast incredible, dangerous powers.But when a cold case reopens a series of unsolved murders that point back to Deena's family tree, she is unavoidably reacquainted with a sordid past full of horrible, heartbreaking memories, and a former boyfriend with ties to both sets of killings. Forced to question the choices and steps she's taken in life, Detective Deena Pilgrim must bring a killer to justice and, in doing so, hopefully come to terms with the kind of cop she wants to be...assuming that she wants to continue being a cop at all.Written by Powers cocreator Brian Michael Bendis and novelist Neil Kleid, The Secret History of Deena Pilgrim is the first-ever prose story set in the world of the award-winning, critically acclaimed comic book series by Bendis and artist Michael Avon Oeming, now also an hour-long TV show on the Playstation Network.
