Riassunto

Reporter Jake Wosley has seen things he never thought possible. After stumbling across secret documents, showing Churchill's interest in the ancient Etruscan civilisation, his life changed forever. Now he is lying low in Thailand, trying to put the past behind him. But then a letter arrives, quoting Napoleon s own words about fate and destiny. Jake has no idea who sent it, but he knows that he is no longer safe and when his former lover Jenny finds herself in terrible danger he realises he is fighting for his life and his love. The gripping sequel to Foretold by Thunder, The Napoleon Complex takes the reader on a lighting-fast adventure across three continents, and peers back into the smokey Westminster drawing rooms of Victorian Statesmen. Jake has begun to unearth information that has long been kept secret, but he s not the only one looking. Can he evade Washington and MI6? Will be the first to crack the Napoleon Complex, once and for all? And if he really has discovered the key to foretelling destiny, what happens if it falls into the wrong hands?
