Sydney 1828.� All is not well.
The young settlement is shaken by a daring bank robbery and a spate of murders.� At the Governor's command, Nicodemus Dunne - a disgraced London thief-taker who is now the Running Patterer, a news-hawker roaming the streets of Sydney - sets out to discover the truth.
The evidence points - amazingly - to none other than Napoleon Bonaparte!
Could the old enemy of the British have escaped death and come to the colony, where he is preparing to seek his revenge?� But who is aiding this phantom and how can he be stopped?� Why are Dunne's closest friends involved?� Is an exotic American singer stealing more than hearts?
Both thrilling and hugely enjoyable, The Ghost of Waterloo will keep you guessing right to its dramatic conclusion.
