Alex, Carole, and Sam use technology, know-how, and some serious chutzpah bordering on hubris to reinvent a profession that has lost much of its fun and insolence since the early 20th century. After successfully stealing Le Grande Odalisque by Ingres from the Louvre, the art thieves have a new mission: nab Edouard Manet' s Olympia - plus two other masterpieces - from the Petit Palais in Paris. Naturally, complications ensue, and not just from the fact that Carole is nine months pregnant at the time of the heist! Forming a trio as formidable as their protagonists, Bastien Vives, Jerome Mulot, and Florent Ruppert deliver an explosive, grand symphony of adventure, as well as a very touching and funny character study in this eagerly anticipated sequel to The Grande Odalisque.
If you like comics, and you' re also in need of some serious, escapist fun, I suggest that you dive straight into The Grande Odalisque [the previous book in the series]. -- "The Guardian" The Grande Odalisque is quick-witted and technically polished, anchored by the three riveting women at its center and their misadventures. -- "Multiversity Comics"
