Cerbères #1

From Soleil's September 2008 lineup comes the opening chapter of Cerbères — "La Séduction de l'Innocent" — a French-language thriller that wastes no time establishing its tense, contemporary mood. The cover places a imposing, shaven-headed man in the foreground alongside a young blonde woman, both set against a backdrop of partially visible online chat logs warning that "fear is spreading all over Europe." Carrère, Weissengel, and Fino craft an immediately unsettling atmosphere that suggests digital danger, manipulation, and shadowy cross-border intrigue right from the very first page.
