Janet Burroughs #[nn]

A striking close-up of a red-haired woman in a wide-brimmed black hat and dark coat dominates this atmospheric cover, her cool gaze and refined pearl earring hinting at both elegance and mystery. Published by Emmanuel Proust in 2011, Janet Burroughs brings together the talents of Pascal Croci, Françoise-Sylvie Pauly, and Sandrine Py for what promises to be a sophisticated, character-driven story. The muted, painterly palette gives the whole thing a moody, cinematic quality that's hard to look away from.
