Extended description

The great metropolis of Super City is the home of dozens of costumed heroes: Spectacular Man, the Terrific Trio, the Bruiser, the Superior Six, and more.

This isn't their story...

When the heroes are done punching out the villains, it's left to the stalwart men and women of the Super City Police Department to restrain them, arrest them, and hope that this time there's enough evidence to actually convict them.

SUPER CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT
THE CASE OF THE CLAW

The mutated spree killer known as the Claw has returned, leaving bloody victims all over Super City. While Homicide detectives try to find out who the Claw really is, uniformed officers must deal with the Bolt's escape from the drunk tank, and the bumblings of aspiring hero Knight Dude. Meanwhile, the Superior Six claim they'll cooperate with the police and stop the Claw—but they're busy fighting the Brute Squad and stonewalling the cops. The SCPD must find out the Claw's deadly secret, before he claims another victim!

Review by: tracy morris on Aug. 23, 2011 :
Fans of the book Homicide:A Year on the Killing Streets and the tv show Homicide: Life On The Streets as well as fans of super hero comics should love this book.

The premise Keith works from is one of the most unique deconstructions of super heroes that I've seen. How would super heroes work in the real world, where everyone is innocent until proven guilty and you can't put away a suspect unless you have actual evidence to convict them.

The book works because it never pulls back from the point of view of the cops. Although you may suspect that the heroes are present in secret identity form in one or two scenes, you never see their point of view to confirm it. Five stars from this reader.
