Detective-Sergeant Kate Burnham and her partner Mitch are
enjoying some down time when they receive an officer down call. Upon arrival they
find two wounded cops and a man hanging. While Burnham tries to rescue the
hanging man, Mitch goes after the shooter and is murdered. Kate’s allowed to
investigate who is responsible for all of this, but feels the weight of her
fellow officers looking down on her. She
is about to find out that is the least of her problems…
There are so many great crime stories out there, and
CONTROL is a worthy addition to the pack. There’s also a political slant to
this story, which could be interesting since its revolving a piece of
legislation called the privacy act and… well you just need to read and find
out. Big fan of Andy Diggle’s writing; it was a reason why I wanted to check
this out. Hopefully in future issues we get to find out more about Kate, but
for now we know enough to get things started. I’m familiar with Andrea Mutti’s
work from REBELS and THE RETURNING (and others), and like the look he’s
throwing down for this book. A very promising start. Check it out!
CONTROL #1 is in stores now, or available for ordering at
