Bloodline #1

From French publisher Vents d'Ouest, this 1997 thriller from Varanda, Ange, and Patrikian drops readers straight into the tension with a cover that says everything without a word of explanation. Two young people — a blue-haired young man in torn jeans crouched low and a red-haired young woman in a white top — are huddled together at the center of a bold red-and-white target, their expressions urgent and wary. The tagline "Plus que les témoins d'un massacre, ils en sont la clé…" ("More than witnesses to a massacre, they are its key…") promises a story where survival and mystery are tightly intertwined.
