Le Temps des cités #2

The second chapter of this French crime series takes us to Marbella, with a cover that sets an unmistakably menacing tone: a shadowy, grinning figure looms in the foreground while two armed men flank him against a backdrop of palm trees and fading light. Boisserie, Ploquin, and Brahy craft an atmosphere that feels equal parts noir thriller and sun-drenched danger — the kind of tension that simmers beneath a resort town's glossy surface. A strong entry in this 2009 series for readers drawn to European crime comics with a sharp visual punch.
