Alecto is one of the furies from Greek mythology. Along with her
sisters, Tisiphone and Megaera she kills the mortals that Zeus singles out for divine punishment. She is ruthless and implacable. With the advent of
Christianity however, the Christian God sends his black angels to wipe
out the Greek gods and in a surprise attack on Mount Olympus and Hades
everyone is murdered except Alecto. Alecto spends the next two thousand
years fleeing from the black angels who will not be satisfied until she
is dead. She disguises herself as a mortal and keeps her winged claws
strapped down in a tight corset that gives her constant pain.

This first graphic novel, subtitled 'Songbook', finds Alecto in modern
day America with the black angels hot on her trail. She stumbles onto a
plot by a group of young musicians to kill their vocalist and steal all
the songs she has written. Her role as Zeus's most feared punisher
means she has to intervene even though she knows reverting to her 'true' form (with hair made up of deadly serpents) will give away her exact
location to the black angels led by the hideously sinister Hemlock.
