Treason's Spring Summary

Treason's Spring: A sweeping historical epic for fans of CJ Sansom by Robert Wilton

From the winner of the Historical Writers' Association/Goldsboro Crown Award for Historical Debut Fiction.

'A rare, clever treat of a novel.' Antonia Senior, The Times

1792: the blood begins to drip from the guillotine. The French Revolution is entering its most violent phase, and threatens all Europe with chaos. In the age of the mob, no individual is safe.

The spies of England, France and Prussia are fighting their own war for survival and supremacy. Somewhere in Paris is a hidden trove of secrets that will reveal the treacheries of a whole continent.

At the height of the madness a stranger arrives in Paris, to meet a man who has disappeared. Unknown and untrusted, he finds himself the centre of all conspiracy. When the world is changing forever, what must one man become to survive?

Treason's Spring is a thrilling and meticulous panorama of Paris in the Revolution whose revelations transform our understanding of an era.

Treason's Spring Reviews

A rare, clever treat of a novel. -- The Times * Antonia Senior *
A clever, sophisticated novel emerges of a revolutionary psychosis into which are swept all manner of lovers and liars, innocents and manipulators. * Daily Mail *
[An] engrossing... fascinating tale * Sunday Express, best new historical fiction *
Beautifully written, wonderfully clever, this is a triumph. * Daily Telegraph on Treason's Tide *
Exhilarating, passionate, inspiring and literate and will garner new readers from lovers of Hilary Mantel and Bernard Cornwell alike. * Manda Scott on Traitor's Field *
A learned, beautifully written, elegant spy thriller. * The Times on The Spider of Sarajevo *
Sharing the page with real historical figures such as Joseph Fouche and Georges Danton, Wilton's characters are at the heart of most of them. As in his other books, the kaleidoscopic narrative is initially confusing, but its fragments gradually come together and a satisfying pattern emerges * Sunday Times *
