East Berlin 1968: a city recovering from the horrors of WWII and where
the state police, the Stasi, cultivate a climate of paranoia and fear.
In a place where your closest friend or family member could be a state
informer, the threat of violence is ever present and no one knows this
more than damaged school teacher Sebastian Metzger. But something evil
and ancient is stalking Metzger from the shadows of war–torn
buildings–something which threatens the city and perhaps even the
future of humanity itself. Tiny Acts of Violence is a stunning horror
graphic novel from Martin Stiff, writer and illustrator of the
critically acclaimed and award-nominated The Absence. “It’s an erudite
indictment of social conditioning - - it goes beyond The Lives of
Others in its critique of the Stasi.” Pat Mills (Charley’s War,
Spacewarp) “Has the feel of a long-unearthed Hitchcock… A highly
effective thriller” Rob Williams (Old Haunts, Judge Dredd) “The
atmosphere of menace and state control-induced paranoia drops from it’s
pages.” Simon Furman (Transformers, To The Death) “Gorgeously moody,
graphically striking and brilliantly cinematic” Andrew Cartmel (The
Vinyl Detective, Doctor Who)

Writers’ Association as the "Best Crime Novel of all Time," now
featuring a new introduction by Louise Penny, a foreword from Agatha
Christie's great grandson, and exclusive content from the Queen of

Roger Ackroyd knew too much. He knew that the woman he loved had
poisoned her brutal first husband. He suspected also that someone had
been blackmailing her. Then, tragically, came the news that she had
taken her own life with an apparent drug overdose.
However, the evening post brought Roger one last fatal scrap of
information, but before he could finish reading the letter, he was
stabbed to death. Luckily one of Roger’s friends and the newest
resident to retire to this normally quiet village takes over—none other
than Monsieur Hercule Poirot . . .
Not only beloved by generations of readers, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd
was one of Agatha Christie’s own favorite works—a brilliant whodunit
that firmly established the author’s reputation as the Queen of Mystery.
