419 - African Mafia #[nn]

A lone, dark-jacketed figure strides across a rain-slicked riverside quay at night, pistol in hand and a hard expression on his face — with a luminous full moon hanging over a grand cathedral-crowned hillside city behind him. The moody, atmospheric artwork by Dédola & Bonaccorso gives this crime thriller from Ankama a distinctly cinematic quality, evoking the shadowy world hinted at by the title *419 – African Mafia*. If stylish, noir-tinged storytelling set against a beautifully rendered European cityscape sounds like your kind of read, this 2014 release deserves a place on your shelf.
