The Gracchus & Vanderville Mysteries

Historical mystery thrillers set in the epoch of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Empire.


About B M Howard

Compelling and meticulously researched historical crime thrillers

The first three books in the series are set in Italy during the wars of the French Revolution. Lovingly rendered locations, gothic tinged detail, and proximity to the emerging Bonaparte family dynasty supply the lavishly rendered backdrop to the drama.

Captivating characters

Immerse yourself in the world of the Bonapartes before they became famous. Be guided by Gracchus and Vanderville, an oddly paired couple of protagonists who deal with the murky murders and unveil the secrets surrounding the rising dynasty.

There is nothing better than a cunningly crafted mystery. Unless it is three mysteries at once. Matters are never simple where Gracchus and Vanderville are involved.
