Marietta, GA Author Writes History Book

Unnatural Causes: The Death of Emperor Napoleon, a new book by Russel Aiuto, has been released by RoseDog Books.

The great Napoleon Bonaparte was defeated at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. The European Powers exiled him to a remote island, St. Helena, where he was essentially kept as a prisoner until his death in 1821, supposedly from stomach cancer.
But was this truly the case? There are indications that he may have been poisoned. Two boys, separated by over 130 years, try to solve the case. One, Emmanuel, was with Napoleon on St. Helena; the other, Sven, helps his father as he is is attempting to unravel the mystery. Both boys learn of a plot to whisk Napoleon off the island and replace him with a double.
Was the Napoleon who died in 1821 really Napoleon? Or someone else entirely?
