Title: Jordan Fantosme - Jean-Baptiste Evette - book

Summary :

London, 1911. A man has been injured and thrown into the Thames. He is saved from drowning by an Italian exile and taken in by a pub owner. It is in this cosmopolitan and picturesque world of the East End docks that he wakes up, amnesiac. The only clues to his identity: his tuxedo and an invitation card. Distraught, he wanders the streets for a while and meets a young woman, Grazia. Then, with the help of his new friends, he sets out in search of his past and his attackers. His investigation takes him to all corners of London, here magnificently described, and even to the heart of a secret society, whose members, aristocrats who love artificial paradises, indulge in croquet as well as spiritualism and, above all, in "perfect" crimes, in the style of Thomas De Quincey, author of Murder as One of the Fine Arts. But when the time comes, will Jordan Fantosme accept to take on, along with his past, his old identity?
