Wellington has handed Keane his least favourite job: he is to get himself captured by the French, escape from captivity once in France and make his way to Paris to work undercover there. There are rumours of unrest against Napoleon’s regime and Keane’s task is to work out which, if any, the British should support. Nothing works out as planned. Bereft of most of his loyal team, he finds himself in an unknown, confusing political and social world. Even those contacts given to him by Wellington seem dubious and amid the ex-Jacobites, disillusioned Americans, complex Irish and ambitious French republicans, who can he trust in his own double agent role? And which of them will turn him over to the tumbrils?

‘Wonderfully imaginative’ Bernard Cornwell, author of The Last Kingdom
British Intelligence maverick James Keane goes undercover in Napoleon’s Paris for his most daring espionage mission yet. Perfect for fans of Simon Scarrow and Bernard Cornwell.
It’s 1812, and one man is on the top of the world. Napoleon Bonaparte has enjoyed victories all over Europe and is rebuilding the glorious city of Paris. Meanwhile, his enemies struggle to keep alive the embers of rebellion that still burn at the city’s heart. To aid this noble cause, a few British intelligence officers have been smuggled in, and James Keane is one of them.
Keane finds himself at once adrift in a world of gambling houses and derelict cemeteries – of ex-Jacobites, disaffected French royalists, Irishmen and Americans, all of them voicing dissension. If Keane is to succeed, a means must be discovered by which to persuade these miscreants to rise against Napoleon’s rule, without alerting the endless spies and informers that surround them. Forging alliances between unlikely collaborators proves especially difficult for Keane, whose honourable nature objects so strongly to this double-dealing.
But he must persevere, or else lose the golden opportunity to aid in the defeat of the tyrannical French Emperor once and for all.
