If a man can achieve the impossible, it's Sharpe! 1815. The dust of the Battle of Waterloo has not yet settled, nor have all the casualties been buried. Lieutenant Colonel Sharpe and his brave riflemen are still not granted a moment's rest. The Duke of Wellington has learned that after the downfall of Napoleon and his army, another enemy lurks in the shadows - a secret brotherhood of fanatical revolutionaries, fiercely determined to take revenge. Wellington sends Sharpe to a new battlefield, into the labyrinth of the streets of Paris, where the lines between friend and foe blur. There, Sharpe must locate and eliminate a dangerous assassin - or die trying. The long-awaited 22nd volume of the Sharpe series, now available in paperback for the first time.
