Theodoor Cleysters #13

The thirteenth chapter in Frank Le Gall's long-running Theodoor Cleysters series arrives with a cover that immediately sets a mood of quiet unease — a young sailor in a naval cap and striped shirt stands casually in the foreground, clipboard in hand, while behind him looms a dramatic, mist-shrouded rocky formation with what appears to be a ladder or structure clinging to its face. The contrast between his relaxed posture and the foreboding landscape behind him hints at an adventure that balances the personal and the perilous. Published by Dupuis in 2018, De Laatste Reis van de Amok is a handsome addition to this Belgian series for readers who appreciate atmospheric, character-driven storytelling.
