MASTERS' INDIA SAGA

BUGLES AND A TIGER

John Masters was a soldier before he became a bestselling novelist. He joined a Gurhka regiment on receiving his commission, and his depiction of garrison life and campaigning on the North-West Frontier is a matchless evocation of the British Army in India on the eve of the Second World War. Still very much the army depicted by Kipling, it stands on the threshold of a war that will transform the world.

THE DECEIVERS

In 1825 William Savage, an official in the East India Company, witnesses a terrible mass murder, which will lead him into the darkest depths of human nature. Finding the murderers is his highest priority, but this is bigger than he at first suspected. If he wants to find justice, he must first go amongst the murderers, and become one of them.

NIGHTRUNNERS OF BENGAL

As Captain Rodney Savage of the 13th Rifles, Bengal Native Infantry, celebrates the start of 1857 with his wife and friends in the isolated cantonment of Bhowani, news comes of a crisis that will have terrifying and widespread repercussions. As tension erupts, the British begin to wonder whether even their closest servents are trustworthy.
