In the early 2000s, Delcourt published this three-issue miniseries, a stylish French crime noir set in the fictional city of Sälem. Written by Jean-David Morvan and illustrated by Philippe Buchet, the story blends hardboiled detective tropes with a dark, atmospheric urban landscape. Though brief, the series stands out for its moody art and tight, cinematic plotting, offering a compact yet potent dose of European noir.
