Reporter Jake Wosley has seen things he never thought possible. After stumbling across secret documents showing Winston Churchill's interest in the ancient Etruscan civilisation, his life changed forever. Now he lies in hiding in Thailand, trying to put the past behind him.
When a letter arrives, featuring genuine quotes from Napoleon about fate and destiny, he has no idea who it's from but knows he is no longer safe. And when Jenny, his former lover and confidant reaches out to him, in terrible danger, Jake has no choice but to come to her aid. Unearthing secrets many want to get their hands on, can Wosley evade Washington and MI6 And if he really has discovered the key to foretelling destiny, what happens if this knowledge falls into the wrong hands...
Following Foretold by Thunder, The Napoleon Complex journeys to Sierra Leone, Israel, Egypt, Austria, Tanzania and Burundi, and peers back into the smoky Westminster drawing rooms of leading Victorian statesmen. Ideal for fans of Dan Brown and Robert Harris, E. M. Davey takes the reader on a fast-paced and thrilling adventure.
