Mortensens mondiale mysteries #2

The second installment of Lars Jakobsen's globetrotting Mortensens Mondiale Mysteries takes the series to the American Southwest with "Santa Fé Jail." The cover sets a tense, noir-tinged mood: a fair-haired young man crouches in tall reeds, clutching what appears to be a gun, while a figure on a tractor moves through the dusty background — someone is clearly being watched, or perhaps hunted. Jakobsen's clean, expressive linework and muted palette give this 2017 Danish adventure a cinematic atmosphere that pulls you straight into the intrigue.
