Modesty Jack

The Scandalous Memoirs of General John Torrance, Book 2

Modesty is rarely its own reward. But when the Prime Minister notices…Jack is seconded to the tiny British Intelligence Department, little more than a map room in 1880. He’s assigned to the Balkans, Turkey, and Africa Desk – a hodgepodge of low priority. Jack’s got nearly nothing to do, but he wants to learn. He works on his Arabic and he seeks out experts on Islam and the complicated politics of the Ottoman Empire. When trouble erupts in Egypt, his friends offer to pay his way to Cairo. Perhaps Jack can help free the Egyptians from the control of Constantinople.

Delighted somebody else is footing the bill, Intelligence Branch sends Jack.

Into a revolution.
