This graphic novel biography explores the life, achievements and legacy of the man who shaped New York. Robert Moses (1888 - 1981) is often referred to as “the man who designed New York”. He was an a planner whose legacy is much of the infrastructure and iconic structures of New York City, Long Island and New York’s state parks. Though most famous for being responsible for the City’s bridge and highway infrastructure, he was also important in the realization of the United Nations, Lincoln Center and Shea stadium. He was at the same time, quite controversial for several reasons but mostly because to build these kinds of infrastructures you need to make room and sometimes relentlessly.

monsieur Vermeulen, le notaire, qu’elle « avait épousé pour ses sous » mais qu’elle méprisait et traitait comme un chien. Elle avait voulu garder son nom… Et puis un jour, en voulant doubler une grosse charrette pleine de foin avec son petit tilbury dans un sentier tortueux, elle s’était fichue de plein fouet dans le talus. Le cheval avait pris le mors aux dents, lui brisant les jambes et le bassin. Elle n’avait plus jamais marché. Ce fut dès lors l’enfer : d’acariâtre, elle devint infernale. Comme possédée de colère et de haine. Il fallait la pousser dans son fauteuil roulant partout à la fois, pour surveiller la lingerie, le jardinage et la cuisine. On craignait l’affreux grincement métallique de ses roues, le martèlement de sa canne, les glapissements de ses remontrances. Et ce fut pire encore quand, dégringolant les escaliers en voulant – on ne sait pour quelle raison – atteindre seule le palier, elle finit paralysée, à ne plus pouvoir quitter le lit. « Elle était pareille à une araignée, un démon à l’affût, recroquevillée dans sa chambre verte. » C’est de cette tanière qu’elle prenait un malin plaisir à semer la folie à travers « sa » maison. Sans cesse elle sonnait et resonnait pour qu’on lui monte un verre d’eau sucrée, sa potion, qu’on lui déplace un oreiller, qu’on lui ouvre la fenêtre, qu’on la referme, qu’on la change, qu’on lui fasse la lecture. Toutes les raisons lui étaient prétextes pour sonner, frapper le plancher, battre les murs… Geindre, crier, hurler et menacer si on traînait à lui obéir, et tout autant de jour qu’au beau milieu de la nuit.

Enfin, après les rieuses retrouvailles, après avoir puisé à pleines poignées dans les paniers de souvenirs, énuméré les connaissances disparues, évoqué farces et jolis temps des bals, bien repus de nostalgie, on passa à ce qui nous amenait tandis que le soir tombant obscurcissait les fenêtres. Monsieur van de J. ranima le poêle… et son bel accent chantant baissa d’un ton. - La famille de Wafelaerts était une très vieille famille des Flandres, des Flandres anversoises. Ceux qui avaient échappé aux Espagnols descendirent se réfugier jusqu’ici et bâtirent le château vers le XVIIe siècle. Fortune et biens provenaient très probablement de la mer et du commerce, mais c’était une famille à méchantes histoires. Il y avait de la folie dans le sang. Les hommes mouraient jeunes, les femmes accouchaient d’enfants morts-nés. Afin que la race survive et maintienne le patrimoine, les de Wafelaerts, malgré une certaine répugnance, n’eurent d’autre recours que de s’accoupler à la roture. Mais les alliances se révélèrent toutes plus catastrophiques les unes que les autres. Bref, passons sur toute cette suite de drames et venons-en à celle qui nous intéresse, Éloise de Wafelaerts. La dernière des Wafelaerts. Celle-là, Jeanne et moi l’avons connue. Quand nous étions des enfants, on la voyait traverser fièrement le village sur son tilbury tiré par un fringant cheval noir. Hautaine, elle ne faisait que passer, sans s’abaisser à nous jeter un regard. Ceux qui travaillaient au château la disaient avare, méchante, épiant, houspillant sans cesse son personnel avec toujours un reproche blessant à la bouche. Tout le monde la détestait et plaignait son mari,

This fascinating prisoner who seems to fear no one intrigues the young southern guard Louis Paugham. During Louis' first night on duty, the prisoner disappears. The blood stains on the other guards uniforms leave no doubt. Louis is revolted. The night he spent watching this proud man changed him. He will seek revenge… which is a dish better served cold.

Meanwhile, a stowaway is killing the watchmen that discover him one at a time. The case is handed off to the Special Branch, the first CSIs of the police force. The investigators, Charlotte and Robin will use the newest technologies at their disposal together with there innate sense of deduction to solve the mystery.

La Special Branch a épluché les listes du personnel et des passagers.

J’en ai par contre repéré quatre sur la liste des passagers masculins...

Aucun membre de l’équipage n’avait un nom correspondant à ces initiales.

Le 26 mars 1867, le Great Eastern quitte Liverpool pour rejoindre New York...

… Il y a Roderick Valberg, Robert Vaughan, Richard Volpes et Randall Vaught.

Nous pouvons d’emblée en écarter deux en raison de leur âge...

… Roderick Valberg avait 73 ans en 1867 et Robert Vaughan en avait 13. Le corps retrouvé ne peut donc en aucun cas être le leur.

Restent donc Richard Volpes et Randall Vaught, qui avaient respectivement 34 et 29 ans au moment de la traversée…

Je vois là que Richard Volpes voyagait en compagnie de sa sœur Sarah…

Mais d’après le journal de bord, tous les deux ont débarqué à New York le 9 avril 1867.

Retrouver leur trace au bout de vingt-deux ans ne sera pas aisé.

… En fin d’après-midi, le paquebot géant franchit enfin les passes de la Mersey pour s’engager dans les eaux froides et agitées de l’Atlantique nord...

… Le dîner va être servi ! Vous pouvez en informer les passagers. … Il pourrait s’agir de la jeune femme de la photographie.

À vos ordres, sir.

Vous avez raison, Pilaster. Dès que je serai à Londres, je contacterai les autorités américaines pour voir si elles peuvent retrouver la trace de Richard et Sarah Volpes sur leur territoire.

COMPLETE STORY

N

ul besoin de présenter Sherlock Holmes, le plus illustre des détectives de l’époque victorienne ! Pour les habitants du Londres des Quatre de Baker Street, Sherlock Holmes est une légende vivante. Holmes ne se définit pas comme un simple détective privé, mais comme un détective conseil (ou, dans la langue d’Arthur Conan Doyle  : consulting detective ), c’est-à-dire comme un spécialiste que ses clients viennent consulter et qui est libre d’accepter ou de refuser l’affaire qu’ils lui soumettent, ainsi que de fixer ses propres conditions. Même si l’exercice de sa profession lui permet apparemment de vivre fort confortablement, Holmes n’est pas motivé par l’appât du gain, mais bien par « l’amour de l’art » ; ce ne sont pas les affaires les plus rentables qui l’intéressent, mais celles qui, par leur caractère extraordinaire ou improbable, présentent un défi à la mesure de ses prodigieuses facultés. Héros victorien par excellence, Holmes possède toutes les caractéristiques du génie excentrique. Génie, parce que son esprit d’analyse proprement phénoménal lui a permis de hisser le métier de détective au rang de véritable science. Mais c’est surtout par son sens de l’observation qu’il stupéfie ceux qui viennent lui demander son aide au 221b Baker Street : combien de fois a-t-il déduit le métier, les habitudes ou même le passé d’un client en étudiant sa tenue vestimentaire, sa démarche ou tel détail apparemment anodin de sa physionomie  ? Pour Sherlock Holmes, l’observation est un art et la déduction est une science. Criminologue averti et chimiste accompli, Holmes est également un des pionniers de ce que l’on n’appelle pas encore l’analyse de scène de crime. Oubliez les « mentalistes » et autres « experts » : Sherlock Holmes reste le roi des détectives !

L

ondres et Sherlock Holmes : ces deux noms évoquent à eux seuls des images de rues noyées dans le brouillard, à peine éclairées par la lueur des becs de gaz – des rues où rôdent le mystère, le crime et le danger… Mais le Londres de l’ère victorienne est aussi la capitale d’un empire, une métropole pleine de vie, de bruit et d’activité, avec ses théâtres, ses parcs, ses crieurs de journaux, ses omnibus tirés par des chevaux et, déjà, son métro souterrain. Dans les années 1890, à l’époque des aventures de Billy, Black Tom et Charlie (sans oublier le matou Watson !), Londres, qui compte déjà plus de 4 millions d’habitants, est tout simplement la plus grande ville du monde… 4

36

Excentrique, Holmes l’est certainement, par son comportement souvent surprenant, voire cavalier, avec ses semblables (à commencer par ce brave docteur Watson), ses humeurs changeantes pouvant le faire passer de l’enthousiasme frénétique à la déprime profonde, mais aussi par ses hobbies aussi variés que l’étude du violon, des différentes sortes de tabacs ou des techniques de lutte orientale. Et que penser d’un homme qui, pour passer le temps, s’amuse à écrire «  V R  » (initiales de « Victoria Regina », c’est-à-dire la reine Victoria) sur le mur de son appartement… à coups de balles de pistolet ? 9
