Case Files: Murder and Meaning

Detective Michael “Murph” Murphy is near retirement. After twenty-five years as a sworn peace officer in Los Angeles County, he’s wondering what will keep him busy next. He finds his mind drifting as he joins his team—with a few newbies along—to comb the cliffs of San Pedro for any clues to a recent murder there.

But when a fresh murder in Palos Verdes occurs, and a mysterious subject starts calling the police department to talk to Murph, the stakes get higher. A third killing leads the team to suspect one person is behind all the murders—and still on the loose. Worse, the crimes have happened at one-week intervals, which means Murph and his colleagues have only a few days left to keep the killer from striking again ….

Written by the real-life detectives and Christian apologists behind Cold-Case Christianity, and featuring art from the renowned creators of The Chosen graphic novel, Case Files: Murder and Meaning has all the action and intrigue comic book readers want laced with questions about the purpose and value of human life.
