Everything seemed perfect, until a clash against a sadistic criminal turned her dream of a hero's life into a brutal nightmare. Years later, Jones is the chain-smoking, hard-drinking owner of Alias Investigations. Her firm specializes in cases no normal private eye will touch, those requiring an intimate knowledge of the super-hero world.
