An Ambush of Tigers
First published 2025
Madras, 1752. Lachlan McKenzie believes the vengeance that drove him across Africa and India has finally ended, but Adelaide Gagnon intends to complete her father's campaign against him. She allies herself with Gerard Kilcannon, a mercenary and arms dealer prepared to profit from the rivalry between Britain, France and India's regional powers.
Their pursuit carries Lachlan through the Carnatic conflicts, the fall of Calcutta and the manoeuvring that culminates at Plassey. As Robert Clive and the East India Company exploit a divided Bengal, private revenge becomes entangled with a conquest whose political and economic consequences extend far beyond the battlefield.
