Pasha
First published 2014
Britain fears that French influence over the Ottoman Empire will open a route towards India. Kydd enters the Dardanelles to evacuate ambassador Charles Arbuthnot and pressure the Ottoman government before fortifications can make withdrawal impossible.
Renzi undertakes covert political work inside Constantinople, where a palace coup could reverse French influence but leaves him exposed. Kydd must combine seamanship with direct intervention when diplomacy fails and his friend is imprisoned.
