In a world where animals rule, two hundred years ago Britain lost the Napoleonic War and like other European countries it's royal family were gillotined. 23 years before England got her independence but there are still issues.
Not least of which is the sudden death of Raymond Leigh-Otter, a death that looks like suicide but Inspector LeBrock of Scotland Yard isn't convinced and his investigation brings him to Grandville, or Paris as we would know it. Dragging him into conspiracy and more dead bodies. A world with steampunk touches and some great artwork.
Not the first Bryan Talbot I've read, this was interesting and touching and rather cool. I liked the characters and the names gave me an occasional giggle.
