Parody and Peril Amidst Conspiracy - Power hides in secrets. And secrets kill.1792. Switzerland. The storm clouds of revolution darken across Europe. A warring France and Austria eye Swiss territory with rapacious intent. Within the Confederacy, civil unrest festers. But for our hero, the storm is entirely personal - the scroll was only the beginning.Though his memories are back, his return to the world is far from triumphant. Now he must navigate a deadly conspiracy, where every shadow conceals a foe, every moment threatens capture, mortal danger, and his dignity suffers from duplicitous kin, vengeful livestock, even a helmet that refuses to let go.With a shadow cabal infiltrating the government, the questions only multiply: Can he expose them before they destroy him? Or might the truth cost him something more? Will he clear his name? Or will history simply consume him whole?Bold, betrayed, desperate, and possibly the unluckiest fellow in the Confederacy, he might - just might - survive the day... if his disguise holds and his sanity doesn't snap first.Mystery, mischief, and mayhem converge."Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall." - Shakespeare.
Autorenporträt
Justan Autor came late to the wicked joy of novels, having first tried his hand at most of the civilised arts: he painted pictures, trimmed hedgerows into obedience, stitched respectable garments, and wooed a pianoforte into confessing melodies. Only thereafter did he discover that narrative mischief suited him best.A devotee of the 18th and 19th¿century masters, he writes in a classical key with a modern tempo - history that crackles, characters with inconvenient desires, and a burlesque glint when daggers flash. His first novel ushers readers into 1790s Switzerland: mountains, intrigue, and a hero who frequently collides with his own better judgement.If you fancy Dumas for the dash, Fielding for the grin, Austen for the bite, and Dickens for the sweep - served with present¿day verve - do make his acquaintance.
