Jérôme K. Jérôme Bloche #16

In "La lettre," Jérôme sits in prison, his fate hanging on a single missing document. Babette, unwilling to accept his guilt, takes up the investigation to find a stolen letter that could prove his innocence—leading her deep into a hidden sect and into mortal danger. Written and illustrated by Alain Dodier, with colors by Cerise, this 2002 issue from Dupuis unfolds with quiet tension and a gripping mystery, all anchored in a story where every clue could be a trap. The cover, also by Alain Dodier, captures the weight of secrecy and suspense.
