Richly visualized by Jacques Tardi, who's work has been championed by Art Speigelman, Malet's crime novel comes to life as a black-and-white film on paper. Private detective Nestor Burma receives a message from an old friend. The message contains a mystrious warning about a den of plotters and nefarious plans against unnamed enemies.
