From world-famous cartoonist Jordi Lafebre, creator of the Eisner Award-nominated graphic novel Always Never, comes a murder mystery unlike any other. Eva is a brilliant Psychiatrist, but this is no simple story of a clever shrink helping a patient dissect their problems. No, this story is about Eva in the throes of a bipolar episode, navigating her own spiraling mental health as she is pulled down a scandalous rabbit hole when one of her first patients and only friends has invited her to the reading of her grandmother's living will. The Monturos are a wine-making empire revered worldwide and their matriarch has organized a party at their villa to discuss her will and the family's future. Their Dynasty is riddled with scandal, which is why the youngest heir, Penelope Monturo, invited the brilliant doctor along to help her through the drama. When Eva finds the families' current patriarch dead the night before the will reading, she finds herself catapulted into a web of intrigue and deception. With her name on the suspect list, Eva transforms into an amateur sleuth out of obsession more than self-defense. Guided by the voices of her dead relatives who seem to haunt her wherever she goes, she takes fate in her own hands and does all she can to solve the mystery of who murdered Penelope's uncle. An oddly heartwarming murder mystery from one of Europe's most exciting cartoonist, Jordi Lafebre, author of the critically acclaimed and Eisner-nominated Always Never.
