Description
Kill Time Till Time Kills You. A neo-noir tale of love, memory and murder from legendary writer Ann Nocenti (The Seeds, Daredevil) and rising Italian artist Flavia Biondi (La Generazione) making her American comics debut.
Ruby Falls is a sleepy town. But sleep brings nightmares, and 20-something Lana is about to wake up in the middle of her hometown's biggest secret: the "disappearance" of Betty Gallagher, who was infamous for her progressive ways during the mobster-ruled heyday of this old mining town. The dim details of this cold-case murder are trapped in the mind of her grandmother Clara, who suffers from dementia. When Clara starts to share these deeply-buried, violent memories with her, Lana is hooked. She becomes obsessed with cracking the case, even if it means snapping the minds of everyone involved, splintering the peaceful town--and putting herself in grave danger. Ruby Falls is a mystery woven through three generations of women, and hinging on their individual, intertwined fights for freedom.
