120 Rue de la Gare. These are the mysterious last words spoken to detective Nestor Burma by his partner, as he is gunned down by an unknown assailant at the Perrache train station in Lyon. The only problem -- no such address exists! This fateful moment kicks off a beguiling mystery, in which Paris' ace P.I. must navigate the mean streets of Nazi-occupied France, contend with friends and friendly foes alike, and muster all of his wits to solve the most bewildering case of his storied career!

Fantagraphics is thrilled to resurrect Nestor Burma, the iconic noir series by legendary French creators Léo Malet and Jacques Tardi. This first installment features all the hallmarks of a classic detective yarn: a gritty setting, a cast of colorful characters (including a renowned pearl thief, a crooked cop, a dogged newsman, a dazzling femme fatale), a deliciously confounding mystery rife with twists and turns and plenty of red herrings -- and at the heart of it all, Nestor Burma, the world-weary, wisecracking, pavement-pounding, quintessentially Parisian gumshoe.
