For this week's Can't Wait Wednesday, hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings, I'm featuring, The Tiger and the Thief, by Griff Hosker. This is book two in his series about a soldier working for the East India Company, which I have always found fascinating. This premise is unique and of course I'd read book one first but this is his newest one coming out in May. I had not heard of this author before but researching his other books he has been writing awhile and has several other series besides this one.
I hope you've found something you can't wait to read this week! Happy reading ya'll!
Historical Fiction

Although now hidden in a company of East India soldiers, Bill ‘Smudger’ Smith still harbours an intention to escape. These plans are put on hold however when his former life as a wharf rat comes back to haunt him. Bill is a skilled thief with a sharp talent for deception. When the Company needs one of their men to infiltrate the fortress of Seringapatam, it falls to Smudger to gather the necessary intel to take down Tipu Sultan, the Tiger of Mysore.
Will he succeed in his mission? And what will it mean for his ultimate plans for freedom? Finding himself increasingly tied to his fellow soldiers, the Devil’s Dozen, will Bill be able to part from his new-found family? Or are his adventures with the East India Company destined to continue?
