'An exciting tale of espionage and adventure in the classic mould.' R.N. Morris, author of The Gentle Axe

France 1809.

War against Napoleon is still raging and disgraced soldier, Will Fraser, and Duncan Armstrong, his wounded Sergeant, are now working as agents for the British Government.

They are dispatched to France on an urgent mission to rescue undercover spies. These royalists, who are ardent enemies of Napoleon, have been exposed by a traitor. Fraser is ordered to bring them to safety in England.

They must also find Gaston, a codename for the head of the Paris spy network, who has vital information for the British. To do this Fraser and Armstrong embed themselves with the enemy and play a dangerous game of deception.

But time is not on their side. Joseph Fouché, the brutal head of Napoleon’s Secret Police, is on their trail.

Not only must they maintain their disguise to confuse Fouché and snatch the royalists from his clutches, but Fraser also has a very personal score to settle.

Praise for Rosemary Hayes:
‘Rosemary Hayes' Soldier Spy is a first-rate historical thriller, full of period detail, fascinating characters, unexpected twists, mystery, intrigue and action. It reminds me of Berrnard Cornwell's brilliant, Regency-set Gallows Thief. I am pleased to see that it is the first of a trilogy and look forward to reading more about the dashing Will Fraser.’ Peter Tonkin, author of the Richard Mariner thrillers

‘One of the very best historical novels I have ever read’. Sandra Robinson, Huguenot Ancestry Expert

'An absorbing tale told with sensitivity. The forgotten struggles of Huguenot refugees come to moving, heartrending life.' Steven Veerapen, author of A Dangerous Trade
