MOLE IN DC:LADY S V4 Format: Paperback

Lady S. stands accused of being a spy—and she didn’t even do anything this time!

What better place to forget the murky world of international spies than… Washington, amid the murky world of politics? Suzan, still her adopted father’s assistant, is now working at the White House, where she becomes the unwilling central figure in a nefarious plot to discredit the president of the United States. After bodies start turning up, Suzan’s life is turned upside down once again, leaving her no choice but to run. Will she ever be able to stop?

With a penchant for addictive action and fantasy,Jean Van Hamme is one of Belgium’s most successful contemporary novelists and comic-book writers. Since 1968, his most popular successes have been “Thorgal” (illustrated by Rosinski), “Largo Winch” (illustrated by Francq), and “XIII” (illustrated by Vance), all published in English by Cinebook. By 2003, Philippe Aymond, a 34-year-old artist, had already published 13 books. Enticed by Aymond’s neat and restrained drawings, Van Hamme entrusted him with the graphic destiny of “Lady S.,” which possesses all the assets of a great series.
