TENDERLOIN

Tenderloin by John Mulholland

New York City. The late 1800s. A kingdom of smoke, money, and men who believe they own everything.

Ruth Hamilton is trapped in a gilded prison — the wife of powerful political boss Adrian Hamilton, silenced by society and suffocated by a world that grants her no control over her own life. But when Ruth’s mind begins to fracture, her helplessness turns into something far more dangerous. Disguised beneath cape and hat, she steps into the shadows of the Tenderloin district… and begins to kill.

As corrupt politicians fall, suspicion closes in on Adrian, threatening to destroy his empire. Meanwhile, their daughter Melissa joins the rising suffrage movement and allies with hard-fighting journalist Eamon Cassidy to expose the city’s criminal machine. On a violent Christmas Eve, their fates collide in a reckoning that will shatter a family and expose the brutal heart of a city at war with itself.

Dark, atmospheric, and emotionally explosive, Tenderloin is a graphic novel of power, madness, and rebellion — where justice is fragile, secrets are deadly, and survival demands blood.
