Lady S. #5

The fifth chapter of Lady S. brings the intrigue squarely to the heart of American power, as the cover by Philippe Aymond places a confident blonde woman at a White House podium — flanked by a diverse group of suited officials and military figures — while a shadowy, watchful feminine face looms large in the darkness above them all. The title "Een mol in Washington" promises exactly the kind of layered espionage tension that writer Jean Van Hamme does so well, with moles and secrets lurking behind official smiles. A stylish, atmospheric entry in the series that makes the most of its Washington setting.
