Page 45 Review by Stephen

Lamp-lit, sleep-deprived and possibly drug-addled crime down the cobbled back alleys of an affluent European city. There, our 45-year-old, jaded, frustrated, slightly bitter, grass-greener narrator doesn't just fall down a rabbit hole of carelessly jettissoned identity*, he dives down head-first and finds himself thirsty for the violent liberation it enables.

But crawling back out of a hole - when it leads further down than you'd expected and the sides start to crumble - ain't ever as easy as jumping down. Sometimes it's not even possible.

Glowing colours by Jake Phillips.

* See Mazzucchelli's adaptation of Paul Auster's CITY OF GLASS - or indeed the original prose

The publisher writes:

"A gripping new original graphic novel from ED BRUBAKER & SEAN PHILLIPS, the bestselling creators of PULP, RECKLESS, CRIMINAL, and KILL OR BE KILLED. Who are you, really? Are you the things you do, or are you the person inside your mind?

In Europe on a business trip, Jonathan Webb can't sleep. Instead, he finds himself wandering the night in a strange foreign city with his new friend, the mysterious and violent Rainer, as his guide. Rainer shows Jonathan the hidden world of the night, a world without rules or limits. But when the fun turns dangerous, Jonathan may find himself trapped in the dark-the question is, what will he do to get home?"

NIGHT FEVER is a pulse-pounding Jekyll-and-Hyde noir thriller about a man facing the darkness inside himself. This riveting tour of the night is a must-have for all BRUBAKER & PHILLIPS fans!
