A DARK, GRIPPING, DECONSTRUCTED NOIR GRAPHIC NOVEL BASED ON THE CLASSIC FRENCH NOVEL FATALE BY JEAN-PATRICK MANCHETTE
Aime is a beautiful young widow - she's also a killer. Driven by a deep-rooted desire for revenge, she sets about uncovering the secrets of the inhabitants of the sleepy rural town of Bleville, before ruthlessly murdering them. Faced with corruption of a kind she had scarcely imagined, she discovers a deeply moral core under her murderous instincts.
