Detective Patrick Gleason is used to relying on his partner Sara Pezzini, bearer of the Witchblade, to have his back while tackling weird cases as part of the Special Cases Division. When a routine prisoner transport from upstate New York turns into a brutal mass murder, Gleason and a rookie deputy sheriff are on their own. But how did the killer commit the grisly crime chained and locked in a steel holding cell? Special guest artist Matthew Dow Smith (Dr. Who) joins longtime writer Ron Marz (Artifacts) for a supernatural crime story that for once may have nothing to do with the Witchblade!
