Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse are ready to crack open a new case file as the next chapter of the acclaimed science-fiction/ murder mystery Resident Alien, published by Dark Horse, takes their curious and compassionate alien detective to New York City!

For years, a stranded alien has hidden in plain sight disguised as Dr. Harry Vanderspeigel in the small town of Patience, Washington where he moonlights as a detective. But when a startling new mystery catches his attention, Harry ditches the quiet Pacific Northwest for the bustle of New York City, accompanied by one of his only human friends—who happens to be a Native American shaman.

Prepare for an out-of-this-world thrill ride as this unlikely team takes on their biggest case yet…
