"Grounded firmly in history, inimitably told in Cornwell's thrilling narrative style, The Fort is the extraordinary novel of this fascinating clash between a superpower and a nation in the making." (18th Century, American Revolution)

In this electrifying new novel, Mangrove Lightning, the ghosts of a 1925 multiple murder stalk investigator Doc Ford.
