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?
