Clan Bogdanov

Alpha #2

by Pascal Renard, Youri Jigounov (Illustrator)

Considéré comme l'un des responsables de la tuerie qui coûta la vie au banquier allemand Hans Dieter Horowitz, le ministre russe des Finances est à son tour exécuté par une bande de motards masqués. C'est dans ce climat de tension qu'Alpha débarque à Moscou et retrouve la belle Assia Donkova. Tous deux vont devenir des marionnettes manipulées sans ménagements par les têtes pensantes des services secrets américains et russes. Leurs existences pèseront bien peu en comparaison des 500 millions de dollars que convoite Arkadi Bogdanov, le parrain le plus puissant et le plus redouté de la mafia de la toute jeune Fédération de Russie.

[George K. · Rating 4 out of 5]

Δεύτερο μέρος της σειράς Alpha, με την ιστορία ουσιαστικά να συνεχίζεται από το σημείο που μας άφησε το πρώτο μέρος. Μαθαίνουμε περισσότερα πράγματα για την όλη συναλλαγή που είδαμε στον προηγούμενο τόμο, νέοι παίκτες μπαίνουν στο παιχνίδι, η δράση και η ένταση είναι σε χορταστικά επίπεδα, ενώ το σχέδιο παραμένει εξαιρετικό και ολοζώνταντο, με φοβερά χρώματα. Σε μια-δυο μέρες θα προχωρήσω στον τρίτο τόμο.

Continuing the previous album,

-- Assiya is safe and back to her husband in Russia, having lost the money

-- Alpha had followed her to Russia hoping to continue her relationship as asked by the CIA

-- We meet the Russian mafia leader Bogdanov and his son who apparently where the third party who had jammed with Aasiya's transaction in Paris.. but we learn that the US dollars are missing even from them...

-- The suspects:
.The german banker with whom the transaction was supposed to take place
.The German mafia gang Bogdanov has tasked with this robbery ( he believes they double crossed him)
.The Russian FSB leader, Assiya's husband, who played everyone and stole the money with help of Assiya herself or by some other means

-- Suspect one is removed from the list as he sends his men against the Russians killing the Russian finance minister

-- Suspect two is dropped when Bogdanov himself receives the heads of the bosses of the german mafia

-- Suspect 3's assistant is secretly attacked and in killed during inquiry by Bogdanov's son Igor, but unfortunately he leaves one of his men's dead body and a live witness who has seen his face (unbeknownst to him)

So orders are given to Igor to kidnap Assiya, so using her as bait Bogdanov can get the information about the missing money from her husband..

But things go awry when Alpha interferes and saves Aasiya from being kidnapped.. He reveals to her that he is a CIA agent and asks her to stay with him so he can keep him safe...

One other CIA agent in Russia, who was helping Alpha with her reports is killed by someone who is well known to her but u revealed to the readers...
