An intense, imaginative and darkly atmospheric historical spy
thriller - Patrick O'Brian meets John le Carre. (Previously
published as The Emperor's Gold.) July 1805: Napoleon's army masses
across the Channel - Britain is within hours of invasion and
defeat. Only one thing stands in the way - an obscure government
bureau of murky origins and shadowy purpose: The Comptrollerate
General for Scrutiny and Survey. And, rescued from a shipwreck, his
past erased, Tom Roscarrock is their newest agent. In England, the
man who recruited Roscarrock has disappeared, his agents are
turning up dead, and reports of a secret French fleet are panicking
the authorities. In France, a plan is underway to shatter the last
of England's stability. Behind the clash of fleets and armies,
there lies a secret world of intrigue, deception, treachery and
violence - and Roscarrock is about to be thrown into it headfirst.
