Conspiracy: Keane Book 4 (Captain James Keane #4)
by Iain Gale'Wonderfully imaginative' Bernard Cornwell, author of The Last KingdomBritish 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.WHAT READERS ARE SAYING 'Enthralling' *****'Full of intrigue' *****'I can't wait for the next in the series' *****
Conspiracy: Keane Book 4 (Captain James Keane #4)
by Iain GaleWellington 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. Keane, bereft of most of his loyal team, 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, whom can Keane trust in his own double agent role? And which of them will turn Keane over to the tumbrils?This vivid novel shows not only the complexity of life behind the lines in any war but gives a wonderful portrait of the seething society of Paris under Bonaparte's regime.(P)2016 WF Howes Ltd

Consumption
by Heather HerrmanFor fans of Stephen King, Joe Hill, and Sarah Langan comes a thrilling new vision of American horror. In Heather Herrman's heart-pounding debut novel, evil is ready to feed--and it's got one hell of an appetite. In the wake of tragedy, John and Erma Scott are heading west in search of a new life. So when car trouble strands them in sleepy Cavus, Montana, they decide to stay for a while, charmed by the friendly residents and the surrounding ambiance. Here, they hope, is the healing balm that their marriage needs. Then John and Erma find themselves in a fight not just to save their marriage, but their very lives. For this is no ordinary town. Its quiet streets conceal a dark and bloody secret that has slumbered for centuries. Now, that secret is awake . . . and it's hungry. Like a slow infection, evil is spreading through Cavus. Soon John and Erma--along with the local sheriff, an undocumented immigrant, a traumatized teenage girl, and an old man with terrible secrets of his own--must join together to battle an all-consuming force that has set its sights on its prey: the entire human race.Advance praise for Consumption "Both the evil that suffuses the pages of Consumption and the motley gang of innocents who defend against it are much more interesting than those usually found in your average scare fare. Solid writing elevates this imaginative fright-fest from an invigorating new voice."--Sophie Littlefield, bestselling author of the Aftertime series
