The Bombyce Network (Le Réseau Bombyce)

Corbeyran and Cécil’s Le Réseau Bombyce began with Papillons de nuit in 1999. Its thieves discover a film linked to murder, turning a burglary into a pursuit through a sinister early twentieth-century city.

The story makes its protagonists’ skill at trespass a way of entering spaces meant to stay closed. The investigation grows from a physical object to a larger system of exploitation.

Historical crime and gothic thriller combine with a stylized urban setting.

Cécil’s intricate architecture and nocturnal palette make the city feel both elegant and threatening.
