In The Six Fingers, archaeology student Johannes Vale commits a murder using the serial killer's M.O. and finds his life spiraling out of control, especially considering he doesn't remember committing the crime.

The Noir Mystery Series Features Two Interweaving Stories
The One Hand & The Six Fingers features a deadly cat-and-mouse game with its twin stories, resulting in an ambitious project with multiple mysteries unfolding throughout its pages. "We set out to run upon untrodden ground with these twin stories, trying to tell a third truth in their reading," said The One Hand author Ram V. "It’s a cat and mouse story with an entirely different sort of chase in between. I hope readers will enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it!"

One of the most iconic Batman villains of all time has just revealed the true extent of his cruelty, and it is absolutely heartbreaking.
"The idea with The One Hand & The Six Fingers was to create two mysteries which interweave and entangle to reveal a third mystery in the negative space between them,” said The Six Fingers author Dan Watters. "It’s one of the most ambitious projects I’ve ever been a part of, and one of the most rewarding, as I think we pulled it off. A book born of two creative teams, a fear of the future, and buckets of blood."
