Sharp returns to England, the redoubtable Irish sergeant Patrick Harper by his side, and discovers a spider's web of treachery in which hangs not only the fate of his command but the life of a beautiful woman, Jane Gibbons. Stripping himself of rank and disguised as a new recruit, Sharp begins a perilous journey toward the spider itself -- a corruption hatched by greed and politics.
