The Commissions

Set in Amsterdam in 2019, the narrative follows former rock star Emit Hopper as he delves into the legacy of his friend, private detective Ronnie Gilbert, whose past is marred by scandal. When an old acquaintance brings a long-buried mystery back to light, Emit's life spirals into chaos involving debt, shady police dealings, and a mysterious woman claiming to be his daughter. This intricate tale of corruption and murder unfolds against the backdrop of late 1990s San Francisco, enriched by Paul Madonna's signature illustrations.
