Owen Zelazny never expected, living in Maranatha City, to live long enough to make this decision. Give up a life of hustling, find a good guy and settle down to a life of domestic debauchery. Pretty sweet deal, but a city like Maranatha never lets you go so easily. Even three years after the disaster that nearly cost him his life, the city still has its vicious fangs sunk in the jugular of his destiny, and when Owen finds himself chased by the sadistic and lethally resourceful Tony Caulfield for reasons he can barely understand, he knows only one thing to do. With Ruy, his bewildered Latin flame in tow, Owen seeks out Malloy - a man he turned his back on three years earlier, a man who can solve problems and keep them alive... but always at too high a cost. With the city's demons coming back to haunt them, Owen and Malloy find that old habits die hard, and even with a bloodthirsty villain chasing them from London, to Paris, to Shanghai and beyond...
Alex F. Vance is a globe-straddling literary titan (and Google-defying nom-de-plume) whose vast writing oeuvre includes comics that are best described as metaphysical action for consenting adults.
For Heathen City, that last word is patently not a metaphor. He founded and neglected an anthropomorphic fiction archive and an independent publishing outfit called Bad Dog Books whose website stagnated to the point of atrophy.
He studied New Media viciously and leaps on shiny things like Facebook and Twitter. He dislikes the general application of the word 'art' and believes that while expressions of creativity may be transcendent and ethereal, they are also work, and reminds everyone who'll listen of that unsavory truth, for great justice.
