Lightning Strike Blues

On Friday, Gabriel Reece gets struck by lightning while riding his motorcycle. Its not the worst thing that happens to him that week. Gabe walks away from a smoldering pile of metal without a scratchor any clothes, which seem to have been vaporized. And thats weird, but hes more worried about the sudden disappearance of his brother, Colin, who ditched town the second Gabe accidentally outed himself as gay. Gabe tries to sift through fragmented memories of his crummy childhood for clues to his sudden invincibility, but he barely has time to think before people around town start turning up dead, and Colin is the cops number-one suspect. Gabe is sure Colin is innocent, but even he has to admit the evidence is compelling. Especially once the home he shares with Gabe burns to the ground. When Eli Samm, a mysterious and attractive stranger, shows up looking for Colin too, Gabe thinks he might finally have an ally. Except it turns out Eli thinks Colin is a supervillain, and his mission is to put him down.
