Paris, end of the 21st Century. Inspector Romane Pennac is the only white woman in her station. The world has suffered devastating wars and ecological disasters, and the old powers of Europe and America are now the third world. Yet it is toward the young woman, now a member of a discriminated-against minority, that a couple of devastated parents turn. A mysterious letter has just announced to them that the body of their daughter, recently deceased in New York, isn’t in her coffin...

Well, Leo is involved so I'm in. there is an interesting story and great colour but the art is almost Manga-like and that is something I am not too keen on.  However, it did not put me off of reading this and ignoring the "inconsequentials"!

The good thing is that Cinebook is providing genres for all ages and tastes. I for one will be interested in seeing how this progresses.
