When the sun sets in Manila, you should try not to take a wrong turn. Otherwise, you might end up in that poorly lit area of the metropolis where bloodthirsty Aswang run a human trafficking cartel, giant Kapre reign as kings of crime, and magical Engkantos slip through the cracks to steal your most valuable possessions. When a crime investigation leads to the inexplicable, the police turn to Alexandra Trese.

"I feel like you and all the other clever Filipino authors and artists are doing something really bold and powerful, which will lead to a new wave of Filipino art with entirely new stories. Well done!" - Neil Gaiman

"This is the book I wish I could write myself... it captures the true atmosphere of Manila - a city I know and love." - Whilce Portacio

"Budjette and Kajo's Trese is a gem. The child in me finds it thrilling because it is still fascinated by the wonders of Filipino folklore. And my adult self enjoys it because it is intelligently written and illustrated." - Leinil Francis Yu

"Trese never fails to impress and surprise me." - Gerry Alanguilan

"Trese offers a rare glimpse into the folklore of the Philippines, where police investigations unfold against a backdrop of myths and ancient superstitions in present-day Manila. Kajo and Budjette have created something truly unique with Trese." - Jay Oliva.
