Two perspectives on a city’s impossible murder

Set in the future metropolis of Neo Novena, this collected graphic novel alternates chapters between two linked stories. Detective Ari Nasser faces a new murder bearing the signature of a killer he has already imprisoned twice; archaeology student Johannes Vale, meanwhile, is implicated in a murder that echoes an infamous historical case, though he has no memory of committing it. Their separate investigations converge around the same mystery, with clues and ciphers connecting the two accounts. The alternating structure makes the contrast between investigator and suspect central to the crime story, while the city’s past and present both shape the case.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in science-fiction crime and mystery graphic novels.
  • Those who enjoy mysteries built around intertwined perspectives and connected clues.
  • Fans of stories involving detectives, serial-killer cases, and futuristic city settings.

Book overview

2025 EISNER AWARD WINNER

For fans of Blade Runner, Ghost in the Shell, and Black Mirror, THE ONE HAND AND THE SIX FINGERS is a thrilling graphic novel that will keep you guessing until the very end.

Two of the hottest writers in comics -- RAM V and DAN WATTERS -- have teamed up with artists LAURENCE CAMPBELL and SUMIT KUMAR to tell the most unique crime thriller, now collected in the manner it was intended to be read in -- with the miniseries issues as alternating chapters!

THE ONE HAND tells the story of Neo Novena detective, ARI NASSER -- a grizzled homicide detective who's about to retire with an enviable record, until a brutal murder occurs bearing all the hallmarks of the "One Hand Killer"... which should be impossible since Ari already put him away not once but twice in years past.

In THE SIX FINGERS, Neo Novena archaeology student, JOHANNES VALE has always been so very in control of his life. But when he commits a brutal murder using the M.O. of an historic and notorious serial killer, everything begins to spiral out of control... and Johannes doesn't remember doing it.

What follows is a deadly cat-and-mouse game told through two intertwined narratives. Both men will stop at nothing to unravel the secrets and ciphers of this case- but each revelation only leads further into the dark heart of this future-metropolis.
