‘Georgette Heyer meets William Boyd… Intrigue, murder, love and betrayal – I couldn’t put it down’ Diney Costeloe. Napoleon has won the Battle of Waterloo and England is under French occupation… A half-drowned girl washes up on a Cornish beach, escaping French soldiers after the murder of her black sea captain father. An aristocratic soldier-spy, haunted by his part in the defeat at Waterloo, plans to spring the Duke of Wellington from captivity. Together, they become enmeshed in a web of treachery and espionage stretching from London to the Scilly Isles. ‘A marvellously dark and compelling anti-hero and a truly gutsy (and sexy) heroine… A terrific read’ Caro Fraser. K.J. Whittaker’s second novel with Head of Zeus, Wicked by Design, is publishing under the name of Katy Moran in September 2019.
Imagine that Buonaparte, instead of Wellington, had won the Battle of Waterloo and that his ex-wife Empress Josephine is presiding over French-occupied England. This is the premise behind a brilliant new historical novel.
