A Murder in the middle: ‘Neighborhood Watch’ turns a gated community into a powder keg

When a community leader is found murdered in a tunnel between two rival neighborhoods, secrets, suspicion, and power collide in Neighborhood Watch—a sharp new thriller from Sarah Gailey and Haining.

From acclaimed writer Sarah Gailey (Know Your Station, Eat the Rich) and fan-favorite artist Haining (Absolute Flash) comes Neighborhood Watch, a sharp, unsettling thriller that digs into the fault lines of community, power, and suspicion. Published by BOOM! Studios.

Jill Hewett, a prominent community organizer and the wife of a well-respected police officer, is found dead from a gunshot wound in a tunnel linking the exclusive Will Harbor Gated Community to its neighboring counterpart, the Open Arms Collective.

Worse still, her body is discovered simultaneously by two people on opposite sides of that divide: the vice president of Will Harbor’s HOA and the Collective’s kitchen steward. Accusations fly immediately, threatening to ignite tensions that were already close to boiling over.

With no choice but to work together, the two unlikely partners must navigate buried grudges and closely guarded secrets on both sides of the tunnel to uncover the truth behind Jill’s murder—and determine who stood to benefit from it.

And perhaps most unsettling of all: what was Jill doing in the tunnel to begin with?
