Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
In the aftermath of the 1857 Indian uprising, Lieutenant Jack Crossman, the younger son of a Scottish baron making his way up the ranks of the British army under an assumed name owing to family conflict, is a reconnaissance officer working with a small, unorthodox group of men searching for insurgent hideouts. But first he has to take care of a personal conflict—the arrogant and despised Captain Deighnton has challenged Jack to a duel. Although frowned upon, duels still take place, and Jack is nothing if not honorable. When Deighnton's pistol misfires, Jack knows that this is not the end of his suffering. In fact, when Jack is captured during one of his missions, Deighnton levels charges of desertion. The man is hounding him throughout India, and he has no idea why, only knowing that there must be a final showdown if he can survive the fighting as he crosses the hostile countryside, a difficult task for a one-handed man of conscience. Kilworth continues to enthrall readers with his Fancy Jack series. Engelmann, Patty
