Brussels with its old markets, its smells, its skies gray, its footsteps, its houses and living mystery. Brussels Metropole ... The first page opens with the Grand Place, golden and warm, a few chestnuts launched by two lively children, Benedict and Melina.
Twenty years pass ... Back after two years of absence, Melina finds his family torn apart by tragedy: his brother is unjustly accused of brutal murder of his wife, and the health of his mother, devastated by grief, is declining rapidly.
Melina, unable to believe in the guilt of his brother, decides to do his own research to clear himself, while in parallel and without his knowledge, other murders in the strange mobile still add up in the same scenario.
an era that sees probably extinct in the 19th century, Brussels still has all his soul hovering over the narrative as a full-fledged character, charismatic, attractive in an embrace and intriguing.
Brussels deserved to be given these pages. Why, from the creation of the collection "Urban Caravelle", its then director, Joachim Regout (creator editions Astelin), had the desire to find authors to offer him a story. And so he proposed to the writer Jean-Francois Di Giorgio (Shane, tarantulas, Samurai), interested in this project, working with a designer Chilean undeniably talented he had just discovered: Pablo Santander. Because there is always a story around the story ...
What then Metropole Brussels?
storyline right out of the crimes of Jack the Ripper, which gives him still a somewhat agreed (agreed but in the sometimes hides the pleasure of a story well done). Above all, we must acknowledge the brilliant combination of design (beautiful, incidentally) that narrative both dark and colorful. Cloudy or completely overcast, dark and light yet warm, you can feel the unique atmosphere of our capital in what remains of "yesterday".
I keep feeling underlying fascination and attachment ...
Big blow of heart for the "pencil" Pablo Santander so with an expectation is not without hope for the continuation and end of the story laid in a second volume.
