A stressed out, super-powered private investigator puts herself in harm's way in pursuit of justice in this original Marvel story.
As a private eye in New York City, it's Jessica Jones's job to investigate humanity's worst, unleashed impulses. Possessing superhuman strength and endurance does nothing to help her process other people's tragedies, much less her own slate of unresolved traumatic issues. Realizing drinking and hitting things is no way to cope with her problems-no matter how much fun it is-Jessica gives therapy a try.
But she finds it hard to look after herself when so many people need help. Hired to find a missing boy, Jessica follows a trail that ends with his dead body, the apparent victim of a drug overdose. Her gut instinct tells her the case isn't solved, leading Jessica into an even deeper, darker mystery...
Jessica Jones: Playing With Fire is a collaborative novel by Lauren Beukes, Vita Ayala, Sam Beckbessinger, Zoe Quinn, and Elsa Sjunneson.
