The Dead Men cover

'Once again J.C. Harvey has cleared the high bar in historical fiction by a mile.' - S. W. Perry

'Vibrant, twisting and compelling' - Minette Walters

Summer 1630. The Swedish army is fighting its way down through Germany, with Jack Fiskardo and his company of scouts, or 'discoverers', fighting the guerrilla war ahead of the main advance. There are new allies to be made, new perils to overcome, new enemies to outwit and new adventures to pursue; but there is also a fortune for the taking, a mystery to be solved, and a destiny to fulfil - one that will see Jack brought face-to-face at last with his sworn enemy, Carlo Fantom. And in the wintry forests of Bohemia, that destiny will present Jack with an almost impossible choice - does he pursue his final vengeance, or does he turn aside, to help a child as helpless as he once was himself?

A vivid, gripping story, beautifully handled, with a gem on every page. I'm full of admiration, if not a little envy at Harvey's confidence; she knows exactly what she's doing. -- Tracy Chevalier * Tracy Chevalier *
Vibrant, twisting and compelling. The Dead Men will appeal to old and new fans of Jack Fiskardo as he fights for Protestantism in a 17th Century Europe, ravaged by war. This is a series worth following! -- Minette Walters
Once again J.C. Harvey has cleared the high bar in historical fiction by a mile. -- S. W. Perry * S. W. Perry *
[A] marvellous [...] intelligently written romp through history -- NB Magazine * NB Magazine (THE SILVER WOLF) *
