Napoleon Bonaparte, the young general of the French revolutionary army, dictates peace terms to Europe's monarchies with ease and arrogance from his headquarters at the Villa Mombello near Milan in June 1797. However, 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. Gracchus' unwilling escort in this military world is the ambitious but underachieving young cavalry officer Dermide Vanderville, aided by Napoleon's unruly tomboy sister Paolette. They set about unraveling the twisted skeins of intrigue and terrible secrets clogging the mansion's shadowy corridors. A rich and compelling debut historical mystery set around Napoleon Bonaparte's conquests, perfect for fans of C. J. Sansom, Paul Doherty, and Ellis Peters. Praise for Blood and Fireflies: "A fantastic read. I recommend it unreservedly. You will probably end up reading it in one fell swoop." - Paul Doherty
