review:

The killer sits alone in a hotel room waiting for his victim to arrive. While he waits, his thoughts travel back to how he got here. How his life is, and how he is infinitely patient. Or at least, he says he is. When things in his world go awry, the killer finds an unusual group of new friends to rely on. But can you ever truly trust anyone your life is built on a lie?



This is a densely packed, very cinematic story. There is a lot of self reflection, but there is plenty of action to move the story along. This is a long story arc, but I found it really satisfying.



The art by Luc Jacamon is incredible. With backgrounds like city streets in Paris, the jungles of South America, and underwater and beaches. The killer maintains one facial expression throughout most of the book, which is quite a feat for an artist to maintain. The story by Matz is better than a lot of novels I've read, and could easily be adapted into a television series on Netflix or A&E. Very good and I really enjoyed it.
