Barbara Wolf #3

A moonlit forest becomes a tense standoff in this third volume of François Maingoval and Bruno Marivain's thriller series from Glénat. Marivain's cover — rendered in deep blues and greens punctuated by the warm glow of a campfire — places armed, tactical-gear-clad figures at the center of an ambush, with a gunman in the foreground training his weapon on a group gathered around the flames. "Le corps des morts" promises the kind of shadowy, high-stakes atmosphere that makes *Barbara Wolf* such a gripping read in 2005.
