Sharpe's Sword: Bernard Cornwell

Spain, June 1812

In the beautiful city of Salamanca, Captain Richard Sharpe must hunt down and safeguard Britain`s most valuable spy, `El Mirador`, before he`s silenced by France`s deadliest assassin - even at the risk of his own life.

In the shadowy world of Salamanca`s high society, where secrecy blurs the lines between friend and foe, it seems that other figures are out to destroy the British. Whilst outside the city`s walls, the armies gather for one of the biggest battles of the war - and risking everything for victory, even betraying one he loves, is Sharpe . . .
