A dark murder. A secret brought to light...June, 1797. From his
headquarters at the Villa Mombello near Milan, the French
revolutionary army's young general, one Napoleon Bonaparte,
dictates peace terms to Europe's monarchies with breath-taking ease
and arrogance. But when a series of malicious events at Mombello
threaten to set Italy ablaze once again, and talk of a ghoul
stalking in the night committing atrocities spreads like wildfire
among the assembled guests, Napoleon forces failed magistrate Felix
Gracchus out of retirement to solve the puzzling murders.
Gracchus's unwilling escort in this military world is ambitious but
underachieving young cavalry officer Dermide Vanderville. Aided by
Napoleon's unruly tomboy sister Paolette, they set about
unravelling the twisted skeins of intrigue and terrible secrets
clogging the mansion's shadowy corridors. A rich and compelling
debut historical mystery set around Napoleon Bonaparte's conquests,
perfect for fans of C. J. Sansom, Paul Doherty and Ellis Peters.
Praise for Blood and Fireflies 'A fantastic read. I recommend it
unreservedly. You will probably end up reading it in one fell
swoop' Paul Doherty
General
