The Napoleon Complex by Em Davey

Reporter Jake Wosley has seen things he never thought possible. His life changed forever after discovering classified documents showing Churchill's curious obsession with the ancient Etruscan civilisation. Now he's hiding out in Thailand, trying to put the past behind him. But when a mysterious letter arrives containing cryptic references to Napoleon Bonaparte, Jake is drawn back in to a centuries-old conspiracy.  The trail leads through the Middle East, Europe and Africa to a Victorian secret that could remake the world. Will Jake crack the Napoleon complex? And can he keep one step ahead of Washington and MI6 who want this ancient lore for their own devices?
