Judge Dredd: Blood Will Tell
by James Swallow
2009
Dredd investigates a Mega-City One case where violence, family, and future crime intersect. It is a Crime Chronicles story with a hardboiled feel and the setting's usual brutal logic.
Series background & context
Judge Dredd Chronicles are prose and audio-style crime stories set in Mega-City One. The city is overcrowded, violent, and ridiculous, which means even a small case can turn into a civic disaster by lunchtime.
James Swallow's Crime Chronicles entries, including Blood Will Tell and related Dredd material, use the setting's hardboiled side. Dredd is not there to comfort anyone. He is there to enforce the law, even when the law is part of the nightmare.
Start here if you like procedural stories with a science-fiction bite. The cases move quickly, and Mega-City One supplies more than enough trouble.
