Sharpe's Revenge
Book
It is 1814. After a long and exhausting series of battles
the British and Spanish armies are pushing into south-western
France from Spain. Rumours abound that Napoleon has surrendered,
been murdered, or fled. But before the French are finally defeated,
and Sharpe can lay down his sword, one of the bloodiest conflicts
of the war must be fought: the battle for the city of Toulouse.
Sharpe's war is not over with the victory. Accused of stealing
a consignment of Napoleon's treasure en route to Elba, Sharpe
must elude his captors and track down the unknown enemy who
has tried to incriminate him. Accompanied by his comrade, Captain
William Frederickson, Major Richard Sharpe pursues with energy,
venom and unflinching resolve an ingenious and devastating
revenge.
