Burke and the Lines of Torres Vedras
(2023)(The seventh book in the James Burke, Spy series)
A novel by Tom Williams
1810 and Wellington needs to protect his army against Napoleon’s stronger forces in the Peninsula. His answer? The Lines of Torres Vedras: one of the greatest defensive works the world has ever seen. But for his strategy to work, the Lines must stay a secret until the French arrive.
Fresh from a successful mission in Paris, Burke is sent to Lisbon. The Portuguese capital is home to French sympathisers, disaffected aristocrats, and desperate men who will do anything for money. Can Burke hunt down Napoleon's agents hidden among them? The outcome of the Peninsular War could depend on his success.
The latest of the James Burke stories finds the soldier-spy fighting French plots against a background of real people and historically accurate events.
James Burke appeals particularly to fans of Bernard Cornwell’s ‘Sharpe’ stories, but also to people who like spy tales of any period.
