The minute Nicolas Lash encounters Jo, femmefatale extraordinaire with more dark secrets than Faust, things go from bad toworse in this captivating noir. Occult forces and gut-wrenching horror collidein 1950s San Francisco, as a corrupt cop and a smitten reporter go toe-to-toeover Jo, an ageless beauty with the looks of a Vargas girl and the heart of arattle snake, who is desperate to escape the grasp of a satanic cult and theirdemonic, shape-shifting leader. Graced with a suspenseful plot that has moretwists and turns than an alpine road, and deliberately understated artwork,Fatale boasts both intrigue and an atmosphere that feels as densely bleak as aSan Francisco mist at the tip of Fisherman's Wharf at dawn. Colorist DaveStewart deserves special mention for his subtle, highly evocative use of neutraltones and earthy shades. This is a universe of darkness and gray shadows, andthe palette perfectly fits the angst-ridden, desolate, catch-22 world ofsupernatural horror the protagonists must face-off against. Immortality may be adouble-edged sword, but it's one the intoxicating Jo wields with a boundlessgrace in this addictive page-turner. (July)
