Malka, the black sheep of her family, finds out that her quirky and estranged relatives have made elaborate plans to leave the states and reunite in Poland to finally investigate their Jewish roots... and she wasn't invited. After managing to guilt her way onto the trip as the self-appointed 'Keeper of the Family Archives,' it becomes clear that everyone brought more baggage than suitcases. When confronted with their reflection in the ruins of their grandfather's old mill, they realise that they've been running away from themselves for far too long, and it's time to come together.
A graphic novel inspired by the true story of Kate Warne, America's first female detective and her signature achievement--cracking a plot by Confederate radicals to kill Abraham Lincoln. IN 1861, AMERICA'S GREATEST DETECTIVE SAVED THE LIFE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN. THIS IS HER STORY. America is at a crossroads. Secession is spreading. And the nation's newly elected president is the target of a conspiracy to assassinate him and trigger a Civil War. The safety of Lincoln and his family-and the future of the American experiment-hinges on the success of a new kind of lawman, known by a word still novel in the culture of the time: detective. But there was only one who would prove to be up to the task-an individual whose extraordinary cleverness and resourcefulness would alter the course of history from deep within the shadows of domestic spycraft. Her name was Kate Warne. This is the story of America's first female detective, a trailblazing working woman trying to make a living and do some good in a tumultuous, sexist age, and whose mysterious life and tall tale exploits are truly the stuff of legend. Eisner and Emmy Award-winning writer Jeff Jensen (Green River Killer: A True Detective Story, HBO's Watchmen) and acclaimed artist George Schall (Made in Korea) present the stunning tale of a real-life hero who shaped the course of American history.
