Everything was incredible about this graphic novel, from the carefully rendered and realistic art to the character development and the rapidly paced story that pulls you in until the very last page.

Set in post-Cold War Russia with some parts in Brooklyn, New York, this riveting graphic novel is an incredible adventure focusing on Kris, a Moscow policeman charged with tracking down a kidnapped child.
This is a graphic novel, and the art by John Paul Leon is just amazing. It's gritty and real and also technically brilliant. The story draws you in, and the dialogue feels so, so genuine. I have always been fascinated by Russia, and this book made me want to read more about the region.
Earlier this year, I was suffering from bronchitis for nearly 8 weeks. As a primary school art teacher, I’m always picking up bugs from the kids. This book was so engaging between the plot and the art that I could go for 30 to 40 minute stretches without coughing. It was sort of a miracle.

This book is illustrated with some incredible drawings by author-illustrator Mike Dubisch. I loved how this book takes the reader into a whole other world that truly stays with you for months after reading it.
