The assassin returns-and this time, the job gets personal. From Eisner-nominated creators Matz and Luc Jacamon, the legendary French noir series continues with a new chapter that delves even deeper into the cold precision and emotional psychology of its titular hitman. Now operating out of a secluded cabin in the mountains of the South of France, The Killer has developed a straightforward routine: take the job, complete the mission, disappear. But when an unexpected neighbor with her own dark past suddenly disrupts his carefully managed solitude, it becomes the catalyst for a mission unlike any he's taken before. After uncovering a sprawling human trafficking operation with international ties, The Killer is forced to confront not only his enemies, but also the limits of a dangerous quality: The potential to care despite his own detachment. Brutal, elegant, and psychologically razor-sharp, The Killer: Affairs of the State II is a masterclass in striking crime fiction! Collects The Killer: Affairs of the State #1-6.
