Jack Lark is The Devil's Assassin who stalks the streets of Bombay
in this exhilarating and dangerous adventure by Paul Fraser
Collard. History 'blazes across the pages' (Anthony Riches) in this
series that will appeal to readers of Bernard Cornwell and Simon
Scarrow. Bombay, 1857. Jack Lark is living precariously as an
officer when his heroic but fraudulent past is discovered by the
Devil - Major Ballard, the army's intelligence officer. Ballard is
gathering a web of information to defend the British Empire, and he
needs a man like Jack on his side. Not far away, in Persia, the
Shah is moving against British territory and, with the Russians
whispering in his ear, seeks to conquer the crucial city of Herat.
The Empire's strength is under threat and the army must fight back.
As the British march to war, Jack learns that secrets crucial to
the campaign's success are leaking into their enemies' hands.
Ballard has brought him to the battlefield to end a spy's deceit.
But who is the traitor? THE DEVIL'S ASSASSIN sweeps Jack Lark
through a thrilling tale of explosive action as the British face
the Persian army in the inky darkness of the desert night.
