 Nigel Grant has a gift: he’s very, very good at finding whatever people want for them. Thanks to that almost supernatural skill, he lives a comfortable, carefree life in London. But one day, a client and friend of his throws himself under an underground train.

Shocked by the unexpected death, Nigel is soon swept into a web of intrigue, deception and death as he realises that suicide and the subsequent incidents all revolve around one person: him.

What can I write?  When I saw the cover I just said "Oooh!" It really does look nice.  And then I opened the book.

The story starts slowly but that doesn't last for long! The mystery, suspense and pacing are very well executed -as is the surprise last page.  This is an Editions Lombard book originally, and Lombard have come up with some great books in the past.

Oh. Have I not mentioned the art?  It is beautifully detailed -every aspect of every panel is just so great to look at. Amazing. And what makes the artwork even more wonderful? The incredible colour work of Emanuele Tenderini --it brings a great atmosphere to the book and the scenes within.

I think that this is a new Cinebook series that should be a hit!  I really cannot fault it and I've not been this excited by Cinebook for a while then -WHAM!

VERY highly recommended.
