Sharpe’s Assassin
*The new novel in the bestselling Sharpe series – SHARPE’S COMMAND – is available now*
SHARPE IS BACK.
The global bestseller Bernard Cornwell returns with his iconic hero, Richard Sharpe.
If any man can do the impossible it's Richard Sharpe . . .
Paris, 1815
Richard Sharpe is a man with a reputation. Born in the gutter, raised a foundling, he’s the army’s loose cannon – but also its most formidable weapon.
With violence brewing in the aftermath of Waterloo, and a secretive group of revolutionaries hell-bent on avenging Napoleon’s defeat, Sharpe is called to the front line: the maze of Paris streets where lines blur between friend and foe.
And in search of a spy, he must defeat a lethal assassin determined to destroy his target, or die trying . . .
Sharpe’s Assassin was a Sunday Times bestseller in hardback the w/c 4th October 2021.
Bernard Cornwell was born in London, raised in Essex and
worked for the BBC for eleven years before meeting Judy, his
American wife. Denied an American work permit he wrote a
novel instead and has been writing ever since. He and Judy
divide their time between Cape Cod and Charleston, South
Carolina.
