"... Tranquility is a town full of retired Golden Age super heroes, villains-- and more secrets than one small town can handle. Now, all of Tranquility's deepest buried secrets are coming to the surface, and even a super-powered town might not be strong enough to handle it. Beloved mayor (and would-be murderer) Alex Fury has been kidnapped out of a police escort, and his attacker has ties to the mayor and his wife, a tragic history with Sheriff Thomasina "Tommy" Lindo-- and enough power to destroy the entire town. Can a town with this many secrets possibly band together, or will the heroes of Tranquility meet their final reward?" -- p. of cover.
