In [[Central Park]], Blacksad and Weekly attend a performance that is interrupted when police arrest its director, [[Llama|Iris Allen]], on dubious charges. As Weekly struggles to secure a major story for his newspaper’s new editor, [[porcupine|Carlo Tedesco]], he begins covering renowned architect Solomon, who is overseeing construction of a massive suspension bridge. Meanwhile, Blacksad is hired by [[Transport Workers Union of America|Transport Workers Union]] president [[Leaf-nosed bat|Kenneth Clarke]] to prevent an assassination attempt by a mafia hitman named [[Wolverine|Logan]]. |

Blacksad foils Logan’s attempt, but Kenneth is soon murdered by an unknown assailant who escapes through hidden tunnels. Investigating further, Blacksad identifies the killer as [[Gull|Shelby]], an associate of Solomon. Suspicion falls on Solomon due to his conflicts with the transport union and his efforts to dismantle public transit. At the same time, Weekly uncovers evidence that appears to implicate Solomon, but before he can report it, he is knocked unconscious. Shelby subsequently murders Iris and frames Weekly for the crime. |
