SHARPE IS BACK.

The global bestseller Bernard Cornwell returns with his iconic hero, Richard Sharpe.

If there is anyone who can do the impossible, it is Richard Sharpe . . .

Major General Sharpe is a man of reputation. Born in squalor, raised as a psychopath, he joined the army twenty-one years ago, and this is his place. He is an unpredictable character, but his unusual methods make him a valuable weapon.

When the dust still settles after the Battle of Waterloo, the Duke of Wellington needs a favor, he turns to Sharpe. Because Wellington knows that the end of a war is only the beginning of another. Napoleon's army may have been defeated, but another enemy waits in the shadow – a secret group of fanatical revolutionaries determined to take revenge.

Sharpe is sent to a new battlefield: the labyrinth of the streets of Paris, where the lines blur between friends and foes. And in the pursuit of a spy, he must defeat a deadly assassin determined to kill their target or die trying . . .

Sharpe’s Assassin was a Sunday Times bestseller in hardcover the week of October 4, 2021. Pages: 336, Dimensions: 11.1x11.1cm.
