Koby is a taxi driver in Tel Aviv, is approached by Numi, a soldier, who believes his father may have died in a terrorist attack. Koby has no contact with his father, and hasn’t any interest in tracking him down. But at Numi’s insistence, he tracks down all survivors of the attack and talks to them.
As they chase every lead, they uncover more than they bargained for, as the seamier side of Koby’s father’s personality comes out. In the meanwhile, Koby and Numi’s own relationship blossoms.
The artwork is very reminiscent of Herge’s style in Tintin, all clean lines and solid colours. The story telling is top notch. Given the cover, it would seem to be either a political commentary, or a thriller with terrorists… but with even pacing and smooth build-up, the story is essentially a romance.
A good read.
