Catch and Kill is an eBook that details the exploits of Joanne and Luke Collins as they search for those evos they feel are responsible for their son's death. The novel focuses on the cat-and-mouse chase as Joanne and Luke pursue a teenage girl named Marylou Winawer. The book is split into small sections ranging from a paragraph to a few pages, each told from the perspective of a different character.
About
As with the other five eBooks, Catch and Kill was published by Bastei, and fills in the backstory on characters featured in Heroes Reborn. The book was released along with the last five eBooks on November 20, 2015, the day after the fall finale of Heroes Reborn. The book was available at various online retailers for $2.50.
The book splits the narrative into small chunks, smaller than a typical chapter. Each division starts with the character's name, which also starts the sentence of the section. The sections are told from the perspective of the character — most are told from Luke, Joanne, and Marylou's perspectives, with two sections told from COFFIN77's perspective, and one section told from both Luke and Joanne's perspective at the same time. Before Luke and Joanne learn Marylou's name, her sections are simply titled "The Target" (even though her actions are unknown to Luke and Joanne).
