THE GOLDEN WAISTCOAT

Paris, 1906. When the celebrated French tailor Monsieur Clairon is abducted from his luxurious atelier by a mysterious British gang, his beautiful and courageous companion, Lorette, travels to London in search of help.

There, she reunites with her old friend Sophie, the charming and fearless assistant of Sidney Orebar, London's resourceful secret agent. Together, the three uncover a sinister plot involving the Illuminati, a powerful secret society determined to strike at the very heart of the British Empire.

Their investigation leads from the elegant ballrooms of the Savoy Hotel to fashionable Mayfair establishments, dangerous East End warehouses and a labyrinth of forgotten tunnels beneath the Thames.

At the centre of the mystery lies an extraordinary golden waistcoat, whose intricate embroidery conceals a deadly secret. With the Houses of Parliament threatened by destruction, Sidney must confront the ruthless Sir Reginald Vane and the mysterious Master of the Illuminati.

While Sophie battles armed conspirators and Sidney fights to prevent catastrophe, Lorette risks everything to rescue the man she loves.

Combining espionage, spectacular action, romance and delightful humour, The Golden Waistcoat brings together two unforgettable worlds: the elegance of Parisian haute couture and the dangerous adventures of Sidney Orebar.

But even after the villains are defeated, one mystery remains unsolved: the Master of the Illuminati has vanished.

And back in Paris, Monsieur Clairon has one final measurement to take — for a wedding dress!

A colourful manga adventure filled with danger, intrigue, romance and an irresistible touch of Parisian charm.
