Ever since she could walk, Homicide Detective Deena Pilgrim followed in her father's footsteps. A man with a badge, Waldo Pilgrim surrounded himself with what Deena believed to be the cream of the crop when it came to serving and protecting. These days, Deena won't discuss her father or the life she left behind in Atlanta years ago, a life before she partnered with Christian Walker to investigate homicide cases in a city where perps and victims boast incredible, dangerous powers. But when a cold case reopens a series of unsolved murders that point back to Deena's family tree, she is unavoidably reacquainted with a former boyfriend with ties to both sets of killings, along with her sordid past.

Society is lashing out at its superheroes. Anti-powers groups are rising up with a series of gruesome murders against the city's most powerful capes. With Walker retired, Detective Pilgrim teams up with a new partner to investigate this murderous superhero backlash and the people behind it. This completely redesigned, reformatted and reworked volume is perfect for both new readers and old! COLLECTING: Powers (2000) 21-24
