Synopsis
Shirking the defence of the Indian frontier in the First Sikh War, Flashman opted for secret service in the court of a nymphomaniac Maharani who wears the legendary Koh-i-Noor diamond in her navel. But with the mighty Sikh army poised to invade India, every able-bodied man is needed to defend Britannia's frontier. When the Call of Duty comes, Flashman has his answer ready: I'll drown in blood first! Alas, for poor Flashman there is no avoiding the terrors of secret service in the debauched and intrigue-ridden court of the Punjab, with the attentions of its beautiful Maharani, the horrors of its torture chambers and the dread influence of the Mountain of Light.Related Items

In an effort to rejuvenate his flagging career, novelist Ethelred Tressider embarks on a "research trip" to Egypt. No sooner has the cruise on the Nile begun, however, than events quickly unravel: an attempt is made on Ethelred's life; the boat's engine explodes, and a passenger is found murdered. As the boat drifts out of control, suspicion falls on everyone aboard - including Ethelred.
