Description
'Georgette Heyer meets William Boyd ... Intrigue, murder, love and betrayal – I couldn't put it down' Diney Costeloe.
Napoleon has won the Battle of Waterloo and England is under French occupation...
A half-drowned girl washes up on a Cornish beach, escaping French soldiers after the murder of her black sea captain father.
An aristocratic soldier-spy, haunted by his part in the defeat at Waterloo, plans to spring the Duke of Wellington from captivity.
Together, they become enmeshed in a web of treachery and espionage stretching from London to the Scilly Isles.
'A marvellously dark and compelling anti-hero and a truly gutsy (and sexy) heroine ... A terrific read' Caro Fraser.

Thanks Head of Zeus and netgalley for this ARC.
This alternate reality historical mystery/romance/thriller is a awesome example of the genre done right. I loved the action, romance, and unorthodox relationships which make this a unique read. Can't wait to read more from K.J. Whitaker.

This is a wonderfully imaginative retelling. Twisted loyalties and disturbed characters make this a highly entertaining read. I would've liked to have seen Napoleon make an appearance, although due to the story I don't think it necessarily would've made sense for him to appear. The characters are well formed and plot moves at a good pace. If you're a fan of the 'what if?' then you'll love False Lights!
