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 . . .
Lieutenant-Colonel Sharpe is a man with a reputation. Born in the gutter, raised a foundling, he joined the army twenty-one years ago, and it’s been his home ever since. He’s a loose cannon, but his unconventional methods make him a valuable weapon.
So when, the dust still settling after the Battle of Waterloo, the Duke of Wellington needs a favour, he turns to Sharpe. For Wellington knows that the end of one war is only the beginning of another. Napoleon's army may be defeated, but another enemy lies waiting in the shadows – a secretive group of fanatical revolutionaries hell-bent on revenge.
Sharpe is dispatched to a new battleground: the maze of Paris streets where lines blur between friend and foe. And in search of a spy, he will have to defeat a lethal assassin determined to kill his target or die trying . . .

New instalment after 15 years! The story picks on right after Waterloo. Sharpe and Harper are sent to Paris to protect an art expert and spy in one person as well as do a dirty job ordered by the duke himself. The war is over or is it? The novel is uneven. The spy story seems a bit chaotic, tension is built then lost. Somewhere in the second half the storytelling becomes compelling again. I particularly enjoyed the situational humour resulting from the visits to the Louvre. Some tropes are cheesy -- a secret organisation, the Monster, Napoleon's devils. Others are very entertaining, such as the atmosphere of occupied Paris, wine smuggling, grotesque statues. The warmer relationship between Sharpe and the duke is an interesting development. The trope of fearing death that started in the last books is wonderfully continued here. Sharpe truly revolts about unnecessary loss of life when the war was supposed to be over, broods on losing "good men", which now involves the French.
