Matt Murdock defends the Punisher in the trial of the century--the murder of the Kingpin--while staving off a war for the gangland throne as Daredevil. Los Angeles Times Book Prize winner Alex Segura (Secret Identity) pens the second all-new Marvel Crime thriller novel for adult readers. When reports come in that the Kingpin and a police officer have been killed and that Frank Castle (aka the Punisher) has turned himself in for it, Matt Murdock senses holes in the narratives the media and the streets are quick to run with. Both criminals have been Matt's nemeses when he dons the cowl of the Daredevil, and there's no denying that New York is better off without its Kingpin and with the Punisher behind bars. And yet . . . while the Punisher is a murderous vigilante, he doesn't kill cops. And he doesn't turn himself in. Castle certainly deserves prison for all of the other crimes he has committed in the past. However, Matt's indominable sense of justice insists that nobody should be locked away for crimes they didn't actually commit. Representing the vigilante in court, Matt enters a contest of wills and guile with Castle to try and uncover the game beneath the game. And when Matt's girlfriend takes the stand and complicates matters, there's truly no rest for the wicked or the just. As the Kingpin's absence causes passion and ambitions to run hot in Hell's Kitchen, Matt must decide if justice means the letter of the law, what's best for the citizen on the streets, or where his heart leading him. Enemy of My Enemy continues the Marvel Crime series that began with Lisa Jewell's Breaking the Dark, and brings fans into a grittier, street-level side of the Marvel Universe. Marvel Crime novels build on one another but do not require in-depth familiarity with Marvel or the other books in the series.

Instant USA Today bestseller Featured in Cosmopolitan, Parade, the Los Angeles Times, and The Hollywood Reporter "Thrilling." --Wall Street Journal Alex Segura, award-winning author of Secret Identity, returns with a clever and escapist standalone sequel set in the world of comic books. In the present day, a comics legend is given the chance to revive a beloved but forgotten character. But at what price? Annie Bustamante is a cultural force like none other: an acclaimed filmmaker, an author, a comic book artist known for one of the all time best superhero comics in recent memory. But she's never been able to tackle her longtime favorite superhero, the Lethal Lynx. Only known to the most die-hard comics fans and long out of print, the rights were never available--until now. But Annie is skeptical of who is making the offer: Bert Carlyle's father started Triumph Comics, and has long claimed ownership of the Lynx. When she starts getting anonymous messages urging her not to trust anyone, Annie's inner alarms go off. Even worse? Carlyle wants to pair her with a disgraced filmmaker for a desperate media play. Annie, who has been called a genius, a sell-out, a visionary, a hack, and everything else under the sun, is sick of the money grab. For the first time since she started reading a tattered copy of The Legendary Lynx #1 as a kid, she feels a pure, creative spark. The chance to tell a story her way. She's not about to let that go. Even if it means uncovering the dark truth about the character she loves. Sharply written, deftly plotted, and with a palpable affection for all kinds of storytelling, Alter Ego is a one-of-a-kind reading experience.
