Russell Chase #3

The third volume of Russell Chase finds its coolly composed hero standing on the deck of a boat at night, the deep Caribbean blue glowing on the horizon behind him — a mood that writers Richard D. Nolane and Pasquale Del Vecchio capture with quiet tension. The cover art sets a sultry, nautical atmosphere: a lone man at ease yet alert, surrounded by the hardware of a working vessel under a moonlit sky. "Bleu Caraïbes" promises exactly the sun-drenched intrigue its title suggests, and this 2007 Les Humanoïdes Associés release delivers it in style.
