In this graphic novel Koby Franco, a Tel Aviv cab driver, is contacted by a female soldier, Numi, who is looking for Koby's father Gabriel whom she believes was killed in a suicide bombing at a bus station cafeteria. Gabriel was also her lover. Together they follow clues and interview witnesses to the bombing to see if anyone knows whether Gabriel was in fact at the cafeteria at the time of the bombing.
The artwork consists of simply drawn characters with detailed background drawings of buildings. I liked the use of bright colors.
This is a coming of age story with Koby trying to come to terms with his relationship with his father. The mystery plot was well thought out and followed the pattern of a normal mystery novel with the usual 3 problems that a protagonist has to deal with in order to solve the mystery.
I enjoyed the book and am looking forward to reading more from this author.
