Le Protocole du tueur #2

A tense, street-level thriller from Didier Convard and Denis Falque, this second and concluding volume of the diptych — 2/2 Mortel Souvenir — delivers the payoff promised by its opening chapter. The cover places us face-to-face with a sharp-featured young man clutching documents, his expression caught somewhere between defiance and desperation, while the urban backdrop behind him hints at a story rooted in gritty, contemporary danger. Published by Glénat in 2008 and recommended by 13ème Rue, this finale looks like exactly the kind of hard-edged Franco-Belgian crime comics that rewards readers who like their thrills grounded and their mysteries personal.
