A new two-part graphic novel by Merwan, creator of Fausse Garde and Le Bel Age. Like those books, Merwan employs a lot of panels per page to capture the nuances of story and action. Every panel is rendered in in ink and watercolor.

Included is a 6-page "making of" section.

From the publisher:

We do not choose our family...

Son of Turkish immigrants and a brilliant student, Cengiz is a charismatic leader of the Lyon suburbs. A secular activist inspired by the humanism of Mustapha Kemal, known as "Atatürk", he fights for his neighborhood's young people alongside Viviane, his love. The authorities saw him as a providential man who could alleviate the tensions that have arisen since the recent riots. But the shadow of his brother Sayar, an ex-leader of the ultra-violent city and imprisoned in Turkey, hovers over the future political ambitions of Cengiz...

With Shadow Game, Dedola has written a captivating thriller, painting a comprehensive picture, realistic and very subtle, of neighborhoods where crime, social engagement and political activism are sometimes inseparable. An adventure in two volumes sumptuously illustrated by the virtuosic skills of Merwan.

Résumé:

On ne choisit pas sa famille...

Fils d'immigré turc, étudiant brillant, Cengiz est un charismatique leader de la banlieue lyonnaise. Militant laïc inspiré par l'humanisme de Mustapha Kemal, dit "Atatürk", il se bat pour les jeunes de son quartier aux côtés de Viviane dont il est amoureux. Les autorités voient en lui l'homme providentiel qui pourrait atténuer les tensions apparues depuis les récentes émeutes. Mais l'ombre de son frère Sayar, un ex caïd de la cité ultra-violent aujourd'hui emprisonné en Turquie, plane sur les futures ambitions politiques de Cengiz...

Avec Jeu d'Ombres, Loulou Dedola signe un captivant thriller qui, à la manière d'une série comme The Wire, dresse un portrait exhaustif, réaliste et tout en nuance des quartiers populaires où criminalité, engagement social et activisme politique sont parfois indissociables. Une aventure en deux tomes somptueusement mise en image par le trait virtuose de Merwan (L'Or et le sang).
