Clyde catches up with Lucy as she gets dangerously close to uncovering the truth behind Matty’s alleged overdose. But when Detective Stone’s investigation leads her straight to Lucy, the two women discover their paths may be more connected than either of them realized. Meanwhile, Mr. Cherish finds himself haunted by the consequences of his own bloody trail, as a ghost from his past returns to turn the tables on him.
The dead don’t stay buried in Christian Ward (Event Horizon) and John J. Pearson’s (In Bloom) gripping fine arts thriller, where the hunters are about to become the hunted.

Oct 21, 2026The Patron #3 continues the series’ impressive momentum, giving Luce and Tabitha room to compare notes before unleashing another sharp turn in the mystery. Christian Ward keeps the suspense unpredictable by introducing a threat that may be even more dangerous than Mr. Cherish, while John J. Pearson delivers haunting, museum-worthy artwork on every page. Together with Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou’s excellent lettering, the creative team has produced one of the most striking and compelling books on the shelves. This is an essential addition to your collection and an immediate must for your Pull List. Read Full Review

It’s best to understand 'The Patron' as an exploration of art – its personal and universal meaning and worth – and why killing artists for the sake of financial profit is more than just a crime of murder. Based on the art alone, 'The Patron' achieves excellence. Read Full Review
