The naked body of a strangled man is discovered in a house in Amiens in 1917, and the British Army can't find out who he is or who the murderer is. So they turn to Scotland Yard to cover their backs. Detective Constable Alan McGill and his superior, Inspector Brown, find themselves in France on what seems to be a fools' errand. McGill has other ideas though, and when he suddenly finds himself promoted to Inspector, he determines to solve the mystery. The deeper he delves, the more danger he has to confront, and then, with the mystery solved, he faces a final, deeply disturbing truth.

Alan Turing (1912–1954) was the mathematician credited with cracking the German Enigma code during World War II, enabling the Allies to defeat the Nazis. After the war, Turing went on to launch modern computer science through his creation of the universal Turing machine and the Imitation Game, an artificial-intelligence test that is still in use today. Turing kept his code-breaking work a secret in order to safeguard his native England, but failed to hide his sexual preferences, which led to his tragic death at the hands of the same country he worked so hard to protect. Jim Ottaviani and Leland Purvis show Turing to be an eccentric, persecuted genius and a groundbreaking theoretician whose seminal work still plays a role in the science and telecommunication systems that fuel our modern world.

THE DEATH OF ALAN CHANDLER Lilly Chandler is serene; little ruffles the waters of her life, whereas her husband, Alan, suffers recurring anxiety attacks. Drawn together in college they tacitly agreed to ask few questions of the others past. As Alan once wondered, was the waters of Lilly's soul so deep he could not measure it, or was his lead line simply coiling up in shallow but murky waters? After a late night domestic fight, during which Lilly launched most of their best china at Alan, he takes off for their cabin at Red Lake. In the early morning hours he careens off the road in an attempt to save an errant deer's life. His car is submerged and he is swept away. Lilly Chandler awakes with a bad hangover, blood on the kitchen floor, and a missing husband. When Alan fails to return, she is forced to deal with her natural inclination to ignore troubles and hope they will go away. She reports him as missing to the police. When his boss calls she lies and tells him that her husband is sick. A police dispatcher notices her conflicting stories. Filling in for a detective who is on sick leave, Sgt. Ray Maddox investigates. Circumstantial evidence rapidly accumulates that Alan may be the victim of murder.

The year is 1982. The place is Puerto Rico... To many, Fortune' Alan Joubert is a humble marine insurance consultant based out of Puerto Rico. Bereft at the loss of his fianc e, Alan spends his spare time visiting his many friends on the island, bodysurfing, and enjoying the beautiful beaches. People might say that he had a peaceful life. They would be wrong. Alan is in reality one of the most dangerous operatives for the CIA's Absolute Resolution program. He uses his job as a cover to travel across Central and South America, recovering sensitive information and eliminating any threats. The Cold War is still being waged, and Russian and Cuban operatives might get their hands on highly valuable information, and more importantly, weapons. In the course of his duties, Alan will be sent all over the world, from Venezuela to Mexico, Grenada to Colombia, Haiti to the Turk Caicos Islands, and even the stunning hotels of Bordeaux, France. Along the way, he will have to decide whom he can trust, with both his mission and his life.
Alan Turing, subject of the Oscar-winning 2014 film The Imitation Game, was the brilliant mathematician solicited by the British government to help decipher messages sent by Germany's Enigma machines during World War II. The work of Turing and his colleagues at Hut 8 created what became known as the "bombe" which descrambled the German navy's messages and saved countless lives and millions in British goods and merchandise.Despite his heroics, however, Turing led a secret life as a homosexual. After a young man with whom he was involved stole money from him, he went to the police, where he confessed his homosexuality; he was charged with gross indecency, and only avoided prison after agreeing to undergo chemical castration. Tragically, he committed suicide two years later.Authors Liberge and Delalande used once-classified information only available in 2012 to create a biography that is scientifically rigorous yet understandable for the lay reader. It's also a meticulous depiction of World War II, and an intimate portrayal of a gay man living in an intolerant world.Delving deeper into Turing's life than The Imitation Game, this graphic novel is a fascinating portrait of this brilliant, complicated, and troubled man.Eric Liberge has authored or co-authored over thirty graphic novels in his native France, including books on Versailles and World War II.Arnaud Delalande is the author of nine novels as well as numerous graphic novels in France, including Le Piege de Dante (Dante's Trap), translated into twenty languages.
