A dark murder. A secret brought to lightâ¦

June, 1797. From his headquarters at the Villa Mombello near Milan, the French revolutionary armyâs young general, one Napoleon Bonaparte, dictates peace terms to Europeâs 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.

Gracchusâs unwilling escort in this military world is ambitious but underachieving young cavalry officer Dermide Vanderville. Aided by Napoleonâs unruly tomboy sister Paolette, they set about unravelling the twisted skeins of intrigue and terrible secrets clogging the mansionâs shadowy corridors.

A rich and compelling debut historical mystery set around Napoleon Bonaparteâs conquests, perfect for fans of C. J. Sansom, Paul Doherty and Ellis Peters.

Praise for Blood and Fireflies
