CONSPIRACY:
A PICARESQUE Historical Thriller Set in the French Revolution
How do you take down a ruthless secret society? Step one: Don’t drink the poison. Alas, our hero is already on to step two.
From Geneva to Paris. 1791. The streets are slick with revolution. A cabal plots in the shadows. Enter Jonas: A Swiss peasant with empty pockets, a head full of dreams, and a gift for public bedlam.
He’s just triumphed at the gaming table and clutches a torn invitation to a clandestine brotherhood of kingmakers promising a new world order based on merit, not birth. Natch, there is a catch: a slow-acting poison ensures loyalty, and only his new masters hold the antidote. Now plunged into the capital’s cut-throat underbelly, he soon discovers the cabal’s true agenda: to overthrow his homeland — and he is the pawn delivering the deathblow!
And so, Jonas goes rogue. He rallies a motley crew — a scar-faced crime-lord, a dandified pickpocket, a captive clockmaker, and sundry other mischief-makers — to pull off an impossible heist. But outgunned and running out of time, will they expose the greatest conspiracy in Europe and escape Paris before the poison claims them all?
“All Chance, Direction, which thou canst not see...” — Alexander Pope
'TIS PICARESQUE,

'Tis Conspiracy...
"A richly detailed dive into 18th-century Switzerland —Conspiracy: An “A Most Unlikely Hero” Story by Justan Autor blends intrigue, humour & chaos with a flawed, unforgettable protagonist.."
5 stars from The Coffee Pot Book Club and the “Highly Recommended” award of excellence
Justan Autor’s Conspiracy: An “A Most Unlikely Hero” Story is not merely a historical thriller, but a striking exploration of ambition, control, and the machinery of power. Rich in atmosphere and sharp in its observations, it draws the reader into a world of shadows and leaves them there long after the final page is turned.
TO CHEAT POVERTY,
HE JOINED A CONSPIRACY.
TO SURVIVE IT,
WELL...
Paris, 1791. The Revolution is in full swing, and powdered wigs shall roll as easily as dice.
Enter Jonas: a Swiss peasant with empty pockets and a burning ambition to improve his lot in life. He’s just triumphed at the gaming table and clutches half an invitation into a powerful cabal of kingmakers who promise a new world order where merit trumps birthright.
Alas, there is a catch: a slow-acting poison ensures loyalty, and only his masters hold the cure.
The Mission: Plunging into the smoky, blood-soaked corners of an upended city, only to discover he is the pawn delivering weapons to overthrow his homeland.
The Suspense: Recruiting a ragtag crew of outcasts—a crime lord, a clockmaker, a pickpocket, and sundry other mischief-makers—to pull off an impossible heist
The Stakes: Venom coursing through his veins as he races to save the captives, secure the antidotes, and burn the conspiracy to the ground.
