Young officer Jack Lark has to act immediately and decisively. His life and the success of the campaign depend on it.

From a poor background in London's East End, Lark has risen through the ranks by stealth and guile and now he faces the ultimate test... THE MAHARAJAH'S GENERAL Bombay, 1856.

Exposed as a fraud, he's rescued by the chaplain's beautiful daughter, who has her own reasons to escape. They seek desperate refuge with the Maharajah of Sawadh, the charismatic leader whom the British Army must subdue. And, in return for his safety, Jack finds he must train the very army the British may soon have to fight... THE DEVIL'S ASSASSIN Bombay, 1857.
