Detective Levy is at it again in episode three, where the past meets up with the present and something unforeseen becomes the center of his life.

In this issue, Bettina Eldersveld arrives in Halifax by steamer from Holland during WWII. She's obligated to marry the man who had paid her passage, but when she meets her sponsor face-to-face, she boldly says, "I refuse to be a war bride!" Decades later, she hires Detective Levy and his fiancee, the photographer Alexa Sands, to track down Bettina's long-lost daughter, whom she raised as a single mother in a house full of other wayward war brides. While ruminating on WWII history, Levy and Sands realize the sheer passage of time deeply affects their own romantic courtship. Will they solve the case and still have time to marry? Find out in this stand-alone graphic noir story of war, absence, redemption, and love. With special guest appearances by (the fictionalized) Senator Leahy, the ghost of Veronica Lake, opera singer Erik Kroncke, film historian Rick Winston, and Robert the bakery poet!
