Nom de code: Martin #1

A sharp-suited agent strides urgently down sun-drenched stone steps, phone to his ear and pistol in hand, while a shadowy figure looms in the dusty background — it's an immediate, atmospheric opener for this French espionage series set in Constantine. Duval, Crety, and Maffre establish a confident thriller tone right from this first volume, and Delcourt's 2016 release looks every bit the stylish, globe-trotting spy story the cover promises.
