Collecting both Sin-Eater paperbacks plus previously uncollected issue #22 (with a new nine-page scene), this is a digest-sized hardcover edition.

Jaeger is a Finder, or aboriginal detective. He's also a sin-eater, or ritual scapegoat. The series starts here, when he gets back together with Emma, the ex-wife of old friend Brigham, only to realize that Brigham isn't really out of the picture, and appears to be going dangerously crazy. A tangled tale of conflicted loyalties which sets the stage for the rest of Jaeger's life. If you're a start-at-the-beginning kind of reader, start here.
