The perfect ingredients for a juicy scandal and fascinating investigation are presented in this masterful graphic novel retelling of an unsolved murder from the 1920s. On the evening of September 14, 1922, Reverend Edward Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Mills take a stroll in the Brunswick town park. Shots are heard and two days later their bodies are found lying neatly next to each other, love letters strewn around them, and a scarf obscures the fact that Mrs. Mills' throat has been slit. The two had been involved in an affair and the press hungrily devours the story. No evidence is sufficient to lead to an indictment, so the mystery intensifies with conjecture: Was this a dual suicide? Was this perpetrated by a jealous rival? Four years later the case reopens due to new evidence indicting the reverend's wife, but she is an upstanding member of the community who vehemently denies that her husband ever had an affair. This is a tragic story told with beguiling relish and expert illustration in a distinctive style fitting of the era.

Occidente conquistó el mundo ... y empezó a perderlo
"Hace veinte años, cuando se publicó la primera edición de este libro, se celebraba en todo el mundo el final del segundo milenio. Se trata, claro está, de una pura convención, fijada arbitrariamente y con varios siglos de retraso por los reformadores cristianos del calendario para hacer coincidir el año uno (aproximadamente) con la fecha del nacimiento de Cristo. Una convención, pues, que en teoría no afecta a las tres cuartas partes de la humanidad que utilizan calendarios distintos: chinos, indios, todo el Islam. Pero que sí los afecta en la práctica. Porque la práctica de este milenio ha sido cristiana y occidental. Son los mil años en los que el Occidente cristiano conquistó el mundo entero, política y culturalmente, imponiéndole no sólo su calendario sino su voluntad. Su técnica, su ciencia, su ideología, su cultura, y hasta su manera de vestir. Y eso, por la fuerza: desde la propagación a lanzazos de la Verdadera Fe en las Cruzadas contra el infiel del siglo XI hasta el establecimiento a bombazos de la Verdadera Democracia en las guerras de la OTAN de 1999. Las fiestas del milenio, el 31 de diciembre de 2000, se celebraron por eso en todas partes con canciones en inglés: se celebraba la conquista. No será serio, pero así fue hace veinte años. Pero en los diecinueve y pico transcurridos del siglo XXI la marea de la historia ha empezado a cambiar. El Occidente grecocristiano, capitalista y norteamericano, está hoy en discreta retirada".
