Media Release -- From award-winning, lauded author Sarah Gailey (Know Your Station, Eat the Rich) and fan favorite artist Haining (Absolute Flash) comes and all-new, mind-bending thriller about community in NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH.



Jill Hewett, community leader and wife of a respected police officer, has turned up dead with a gunshot wound in a tunnel connecting the Will Harbor Gated Community with the neighboring Open Arms Collective.
