The Agent - by Mathieu Gabella (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

For some, magic is a myth. For others, it is a weapon.

What if witchcraft really existed? If our beliefs, superstitions, and legends were material? This is what Rhym, a young narcotics lieutenant, must question when she finds herself confronted with the impossible. While staking out a subway deal, a suspect magically kills his informant and drives the entire station into madness with just a handful of weed. Rhym miraculously escapes unscathed. She's unaware, but she is a witch, and that fact arouses the interest of a very particular unit of the French secret services. A group of special agents who, like the criminals they hunt, have mastered the art of sorcery...

Welcome to a world where it is better to wear an amulet than a bulletproof vest and where a simple curse by email can destroy you more surely than a bomb. Between thriller, espionage, and fantasy, Mathieu Gabella and DC Comics artist Fernando Dagnino (Suicide Squad, Supergirl, Wonder Woman, Teen Titans, Justice League) present a powerful adventure!a

Review Quotes

"an intriguing urban fantasy about a drug enforcement agent who stumbles upon the magical side of the criminal underworld. Gabella's crime noir tale is a proper thriller set on the streets of Paris, but the magical developments are subtle enough to build mounds of curiosity. Likewise, Dagnino's hard-hitting action is fascinating when it includes a unique magical twist. Score: 9/10" --COMICAL OPINIONS
