Book Description
Award-winning Filipino comic book and hit Netflix anime series! In a city where the vampiric aswang control everything illegal and where ancient gods seek to control everything else, enforcing the law can be a very difficult task. When crime takes a turn for the weird, the police normally call Alexandra Trese. But lately, it seems like others have been taking that call... A mysterious motorcycle racer has been capturing criminals with his unearthly speed. A masked giant has been demolishing drug dens and destroying gangs’ headquarters. Trese must control these supernatural crime-fighters and bring back order to the city before the underworld attempts to seek balance in its own way. Trese: Midnight Tribunal is the fifth volume of the award-winning Trese comic book series, upon which the hit Netflix anime series is based, featuring an overarching storyline divided into four cases. It includes updated/remastered artwork, as well as bonus material, including Alexandra’s journal entries chronicling her creature encounters. Plus an afterword by writer Budjette Tan, detailing how the story evolved from a 20-page stand-alone case to its current form and the factors that influenced the story.

Book Description
This harrowing mystery, winner of the Philippine National Book Award, follows two Catholic priests on the hunt through Manila for a brutal serial killer Payatas, a 50-acre dump northeast of Manila’s Quezon City, is home to thousands of people who live off of what they can scavenge there. It is one of the poorest neighborhoods in a city whose law enforcement is already stretched thin, devoid of forensic resources and rife with corruption. So when the eviscerated bodies of preteen boys begin to appear in the dump heaps, there is no one to seek justice on their behalf. In the rainy summer of 1997, two Jesuit priests take the matter of protecting their flock into their own hands. Father Gus Saenz is a respected forensic anthropologist, one of the few in the Philippines, and has been tapped by the Director of the National Bureau of Investigations as a backup for police efforts. Together with his protégé, Father Jerome Lucero, a psychologist, Saenz dedicates himself to tracking down the monster preying on these impoverished boys. Smaller and Smaller Circles, widely regarded as the first Filipino crime novel, is a poetic masterpiece of literary noir, a sensitive depiction of a time and place, and a fascinating story about the Catholic Church and its place in its devotees’ lives.
