The second volume in the Carland Cross series, *Les pendus de Manhattan* is a French-language graphic novel adventure centered on mystery, investigation, and suspense. Set against the backdrop of Manhattan, the story follows Carland Cross as he confronts a disturbing case suggested by the title’s reference to hanged figures. The album combines the visual pacing of European comics with an investigative plot, placing the protagonist in an urban environment where clues, danger, and hidden motives shape the unfolding narrative. As a Soleil Productions title, it belongs to the tradition of Franco-Belgian adventure comics, using dramatic artwork and serial storytelling to build tension around a central crime or conspiracy.
