BERNARD CORNWELL - Sharpe’s Assassin

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 . . .
