Le crime parfait #[nn]

A lone figure in a long coat stands with gun in hand against a stark crimson landscape, a bare winter forest and what appears to be a distant car behind them — it's a quietly menacing image that sets the tone for this French anthology of crime stories perfectly. Published by Philéas in 2022, Le Crime Parfait brings together an impressive roster of contributors including Barral, Chaboute, De Metter, Gess, Guérineau, Holzode, Kraeninsky, Liéron, Mayet, O'Griofa, Peyraud, Pons, Rubut, Sandoval, and Solbier. If you're drawn to moody, noir-inflected comics storytelling, this collaborative volume looks like a compelling place to spend an evening.
