In New York City, a killer known as ldquo;Henry The Eighthrdquo; leaves a trail of decapitated corpses mdash; keeping the severed heads to use for purposes unknown. NYPD Detective Adam Kamen leads the investigation, until a seemingly unrelated freak incident leaves him with an injury to his brain, in a section known as ldquo;Brodmann Area 10.rdquo; When he recovers, Adamrsquo;s perceptions of time are altered. He becomes slowly convinced that his bizarre condition could be tied directly to the ldquo;Henryrdquo; case and that the key may lie in the ancient, mystical practice of trepanation.
What seems like a freak accident--getting impaled through the head with a screwdriver turns out to be a bizarre blessing for NYPD detective Adam Kamen. Kamen's doggedly pursuing a serial killer who's thing is to drill a hole in his victims' skulls--an outmoded treatment for mental illness known as trepanation--before he cuts their new-and-improved head off. Fortunately, the hole in Kamen's head gives him preternatural abilities to see into the future, giving him the slimmest and most precarious of edges on his ruthless killer. Buoyed by Chris Samnee's art, Christos N. Gage, who has written for LAW AND ORDER, spins spine-tingling noir tale with a classic tight-lipped noir hero at the center.
