THE COLDESTWINTERBOOKLIST -- After a series offailed recon assignments, M16 agent David Perceval has been given an impossiblemission. Tasked with extracting a Russian scientist during the end of the ColdWar, he quickly discovers that escape is unlikely in a snow-clad Berlin, whilehiding is just as difficult with Russian spies and double agents constantly onhis tail. A prequel to Johnston and Sam Hart's Coldest City (2012), this is justas gripping, filled with daring escapes and constant double crosses, and themasterful and unexpected conclusion will keep readers guessing up to the veryend. Perkins' artwork brings the shady world of espionage to life: his heavyshadowing obscures nearly all facial features, and gray benday dots provide theonly contrast between the stark black-and-white swaths of the artwork. Thoughthe visual style sometimes makes it difficult to distinguish between characters,the noirlike images deliver an atmosphere of questionable morality and deepsecrecy that's perfectly in keeping with the story. Ideal for fans of spyfiction.
