The extra long concluding volume of this series. Inspired by the film noirs of the 1950s--and perhaps the monochromatic art of Tim Sale, Enrico Marini offers a graphic novel filled with femme fatales bathed in sensuality, lots of sharply dressed criminals and mobsters, and a looser, more direct art style than we've ever seen from him before.

Enrico renders the entire book in monochromatic washes except for the redheaded femme fatale.

The story by Enrico is a throwaway, but it looks great.

From the publisher:

For Slick, things are not getting better. Up until now, he only had to deal with the Irish mob. But this time, he has to cross the Italian mafia.

Rex, for whom he had once worked, coerces him to steal a work of art--and it belongs to the mafia.

In an ideal world, Slick would sail away with Caprice, the woman of his dreams. But we are not in an ideal world. Caprice is herself stuck: Rex holds a secret that would ruin her career forever.

And Slick's troubles don't end there: his team is a bunch of real cranks. Notably Crazy Horse, one of Rex's out-of-control killers who seems to have gone on the warpath. What is certain is that blood and tears will flow...

Between femme fatales, bloody shootings and the settling of scores, Enrico Marini continues his tribute to American film noir of the 1950s.

Resume:

Pour Slick, les choses ne s'arrangent pas. Jusqu'à présent, il avait affaire aux truands irlandais. Mais cette fois, il change de dimension : le voilà confronté à la mafia italienne.

Rex, pour qui il n'avait travaillé qu'une seule fois, lui demande cette fois, sous la menace, de voler une oeuvre d'art. Et pas n'importe laquelle : outre sa très grande valeur, elle appartient à la mafia.

Dans un monde idéal, Slick prendrait le large avec Caprice, la femme de sa vie. Mais nous ne sommes pas dans un monde idéal. Caprice se retrouve coincée elle aussi : Rex la retient avec un secret qui pourrait ruiner sa carrière à tout jamais.

Et les ennuis de Slick ne s'arrêtent pas là : il doit faire équipe avec une bande de véritables détraqués. Notamment Crazy Horse, l'un des tueurs incontrôlable de Rex qui semble être parti sur le sentier de la guerre. Ce qui est certain, c'est que du sang et de larmes vont couler...

Entre femmes fatales, fusillades sanglantes et règlements de comptes, Enrico Marini poursuit son hommage au film noir américain des années 1950.
