Dust jacket shows minor shelfwear, some minor warping, and a small From the dust jacket: HOW ONE DETERMINED MAN, WORKING ACROSS THE CENTURIES, EXPOSED A STUPENDOUS CRIME. The history books say that Napoleon died of natural causes. Napoleon himself, expiring at 51 after a lifetime of robust health, suspected otherwise and ordered a thorough autopsy. His suspicions were well-founded. So clever was the crime, however, that until recent developments in forensic science, it was impossible to prove a case of murder, let alone name the killer. Now, the authors of this fascinating book assert, it has been done—by a brilliant man whose 20-year inquest, a feat of detection, has produced one of history's greatest surprises. The frame of the book is a gripping narrative of the Emperor's final years, in exile on the remote island of St. Helena. All Europe trembles at the thought that he might once again escape his captors and return to seize power. Then he mysteriously sickens, suffering bout after bout of extreme nausea, chills, weakness in the legs. . . . But Napoleon's murderer does not work unobserved. In chapters that alternate with the historical chapters, a 20th century detective is closing in on the killer. He is Dr. Sten Forshufvud, a Swedish expert on poison. Reading the memoirs of Napoleon's valet, Forshufvud realizes that Napoleon's symptoms are not those of stomach cancer, the most commonly cited cause of death, but of arsenic poisoning. But how to prove it? Arsenic leaves traces in the hair, so somehow Forshufvud must obtain hairs cut from Napoleon's head at various times during the exile. The hairs—if he can find any that are authentic—will show exactly when the poisonings took place, and contemporary records will show who was always with Napoleon at those times. . . . Readers will watch with fascination as Forshufvud, overcoming discouragements and opposition, ingeniously gathers his evidence. And they will look on with horror as, in the historical narrative, someone in Napoleon's entourage, posing as his friend, slowly poisons him.
