Les fantômes de Syracuse

by Jean-Pierre Duffour and Alexandre Kha

On the winding roads leading to Syracuse, a red car splits the gloomy air. Matteo, a mycologist by profession, is on his way to his childhood town to give a lecture. But when he encounters a disturbing hitchhiker and unexpectedly veers off the road, nothing will ever be the same again.

Arriving at his destination, Matteo rediscovers a transformed Syracuse. He wanders through a city that has become a veritable labyrinth of rubble and memories, bumping into old acquaintances struggling to cope with a world corrupted by the Piovra Nera, a sprawling organization that has a stranglehold on the city. He himself, as a former member of this underworld, is confronted with his own demons. Caught up in his past, he embarks on a desperate flight. Guided by Salvatore, the host of a mysterious pirate radio station, he also finds invaluable help in the botanist Grazia, who seems to be detached from this universe where time and space obey strange laws...

For their first collaboration, the two authors revisit the mafia story with a tale tinged with absurdity and fantasy, where the seriousness of the themes addressed is counterbalanced by Jean-Pierre Duffour's gentle drawing and Alexandre Kha's dreamlike script.
