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 by Bernard Cornwell, his 22nd Sharpe adventure, is published in paperback on 9 June, 2022.
The late Rob Low, novelist and much-loved and respected HWA member, wrote about meeting Bernard, his writing hero, for Historia.
