In the wild frontier, the dead stay buried. It's the living you have to worry about. In volume two of this exciting graphic novel series, Jonas Crow--the West's most cynical undertaker--just wants to enjoy the quiet life of a traveling mortician. His hearse is fixed, his vulture is content, and the chaos of his last job is behind him. But peace is a luxury a man with Jonas's past can't afford.
The silence is shattered when an old colonel delivers a chilling revelation: the "Ogre of Camp Sutter," a monstrous surgeon from the Civil War thought to be long dead, is still breathing. For Jonas, this isn't just a shock--it's a summons. Because he's the one who let the Ogre get away.
The hunt for the rogue surgeon takes a desperate turn when Rose, Jonas's companion and moral compass, is taken hostage. To save her, Jonas must enter a psychological house of mirrors. How do you stop a "man of medicine" who views human life as raw material and uses his own patients as human shields?
