Lewis Trondheim and Stéphane Oiry Release Noir Graphic Novel 'Maggy Garrisson'

Lewis Trondheim (Fontainebleau, 1964) and Stéphane Oiry (Nantes, 1970) have released 'Maggy Garrisson' through Coconino Press (Bologna, 2017), a detective story set in England. The protagonist, Maggy Garrisson, is a private detective who ends up working at a run-down London investigation agency led by Anthony Wight, an alcoholic detective. The agency handles minor cases, but Maggy's sharp talent soon draws her into the city's criminal underworld, involving money laundering and murder. The book is structured as a crime comedy, originally released in three parts in French. It follows Maggy through a series of cases, from finding a lost canary to solving a burglary, escalating to organized crime and homicide. The narrative relies on plot twists and case resolutions rather than graphic or literary innovation. The 152-page volume costs €22 (ISBN 9788876183393).
