Josse Beauregard #2

A muscular, bare-chested seafarer grips a boarding axe at the prow of a tall ship, with more sailing vessels visible in a warm, hazy harbor behind him — it's an arresting image that sets the tone for high-seas adventure. Josse Beauregard Book 2, subtitled Mourir à Cadix, arrives from Glénat in 2014 with Mosdi and Majo delivering exactly the kind of sun-drenched, salt-spray tension that fans of historical maritime adventure will savor.
