 By publicly attacking his former Russian captor after his daughter had arranged for him to be declared dead, Shania’s father gets her in deep trouble. Soon, she and Anton are blackmailed into work for French Intelligence. Their mission: impersonate a woman, envoy of the Russian mafia to a Corsican syndicate boss, and find out what the two are planning together. A job that will bring about an unexpected reunion…

Lady S just went up several notches in the action and thriller department. Van Hamme certainly knows how to write these books.  I think that I previously compared Lady S to a modern Modesty Blaise, well, Modesty is the classic but Lady S is definitely the modern star.

April 2015 was when I last looked at Lady S with volume 5.  Might explain why I had the strange idea that the series ended with volume 5?

But Philippe Aymond's art is gorgeous to look at and there can be no arguing over the qualty. If you add the superb colour work of Sebastien Gerard to the mix....well, you may just read and then go back and study each page like I did!

Highly recommended.
