Sisco #9

The ninth volume of this Belgian spy-thriller series sends Sisco into high-stakes territory with a title — "Gold Black" — that speaks to oil, power, and danger. Thomas Legrain's cover says it all: a sharp-eyed operative in a leather jacket, cigarette at his lip and assault rifle in hand, stands before a looming offshore oil platform rendered in stark monochrome. It's a sleek, tension-filled image that sets the mood perfectly for whatever trouble awaits on the open sea.
