On a Particular Service is the 14th book in the John Pearce series by author David Donachie.
John Pearce is coming home soon. He had to avoid capture by an Algerine warship, have his Pelicans forced into a British frigate, and that was before they risked being hanged for desertion upon returning home. . Then there was the matter of Emily Barclay and their son, Adam. With cunning and trickery, he protects his friends, not his troubled love life.
Insidious deals, planned murders and dangerous espionage missions, with so much deception that Pearce doesn’t know who to trust. All he can hope to do is survive.
With just a few errors, the story of John Pearce continues with good dialogue, interesting characters, and a well-written plot.
