The Scarlet Thief by Paul Fraser Collard introduces roguish hero
Jack Lark - dubbed 'Sharpe meets the Talented Mr Ripley' - who gets
his first taste of battle and bloodshed in the Crimea. 'An
appealing and formidable hero' (Sunday Express) for fans of Bernard
Cornwell's The Last Kingdom series and Conn Iggulden. 1854: The
banks of the Alma River, Crimean Peninsular. The Redcoats stagger
to a bloody halt. The men of the King's Royal Fusiliers are in
terrible trouble, ducking and twisting as the storm of shot, shell
and bullet tear through their ranks. Officer Jack Lark has to act
immediately and decisively. His life and the success of the
campaign depend on it. But does he have the mettle, the officer
qualities that are the life blood of the British Army? From a poor
background Lark has risen through the ranks by stealth and guile
and now he faces the ultimate test... THE SCARLET THIEF introduces
us to a formidable and compelling hero - brutally courageous,
roguish, ambitious - in a historical novel as robust as it is
thrillingly authentic by an author who brings history and battle
vividly alive.
