Les mystères de la troisième république #2

The second volume of Philippe Richelle and Pierre Wachs's historical mystery series brings "Le tueur dévot" to life in this 2013 Glénat release. Wachs's cover sets a quietly menacing tone: a lone blond figure stands on rain-slicked train tracks inside a shadowy station, while a second figure lurks in a dimly lit doorway in the background, the steam locomotives on either side adding to the atmosphere of industrial-era tension. Fans of noir-tinged intrigue set against the backdrop of the French Third Republic will find plenty to draw them in here.
