Printed on off-white paper with black ink and a very subtle gray tone for shading Sturm has a simple comix style that perfectly complements the kind of Americana he writes about. He uses old photographs for reference, particularly when drawing the players in action, but distills the details down to the fuzziness of memory. It feels like looking at an old snapshot album that actually tells a story...

The scene is typical of urban China's industrial districts; in Nanhai, a small city in booming, rough-and-tumble Guangdong province, scores of factories cluster together, their front yards choked with piles of twisted metal, junked plastic and old computer parts. But the killers who struck in the predawn hours of July 16 knew exactly which path would take them to their targets: Hou Kuo-li and Yeh Ming-yi, a pair of middle-aged businessmen from Taiwan who lived...
