Story-wise our private eye gets involved into the conflict between Mafia and construction unions. What starts as a rather straight-forward task to protect the Union representative from Mafia, escalates into a conflict between main power players in the city, rich and powerful aiming to change the city landscape and leave their mark.
Cannot wait for the conclusion of the story in volume 2.
Highly recommended to fans of beautiful art, noir crime stories and Blacksad in particular. ( )
