However, he will have to be wary of Professor Sneutvelmans, an undisputed expert in cryptozoology (a new scientific discipline of his own invention) who is convinced that the strange animal is proof of an ancient myth. Everyone will embark on a vast chase through the streets of Brussels. The conclusion of this two-part novel by renowned author Zidrou and celebrated gallery artist Frank Pe features spectacular scenes full of nostalgic melodrama.
