When Rome falls, so too will the world…Christmas, 1797. Erstwhile
magistrate Felix Gracchus wakes in the French embassy beside the
Tiber after a serious bout of malaria. Despite his poor health, the
intricate puzzle of a local inheritance scandal proves
irresistible. To his delight Lieutenant Vanderville has been
assigned to the embassy intelligence section, tasked with pacifying
the rabidly pro-revolutionary local patriots who seek to overthrow
the state and install a republic in Rome. But a sudden, terrible
development threatens to bring disaster upon the whole embassy. Can
the pair resolve it before Napoleon Bonaparte brings the full force
of the republic down upon Rome in vengeance? Will Vanderville
succeed in persuading the patriots from setting the city aflame?
And why, amidst all this chaos, is Gracchus more interested in
finding a missing nurse? A totally engrossing historical mystery
rich in period detail and fascinating characters, perfect for fans
of Steven Saylor and C. J. Sansom.
