A former Russian soldier fights gangs and his memories of the war in Chechnya, all while traveling through alternative histories of his own life. Joining Baker is the book’s illustrator.

“A tough-nosed crime story redolent with magic and sadness, Luna Park serves as a fine showcase for two great artists working to the best of their abilities.” – Publishers Weekly
