I.R.$. #25

Rain-slicked streets and a glowing liquor-store sign set a moody, noir-drenched scene on Bernard Vrancken's cover for this twenty-fifth volume in the Belgian crime series — a silver-haired man in a dark overcoat stands tense and watchful beside a car, while a woman with a pink feathered hat lingers just behind him. Written by Stephen Desberg with art by Carlos Rafael Duarte, I.R.$. – Dertig miljard dollar promises the series' signature blend of high-stakes financial intrigue wrapped in atmospheric danger. Thirty billion dollars is a compelling number to have hanging over a rainy night like this.
