Synopsis

Northwest Frontier of India, 1895. Andrew Baird, son of the famous General “Fighting Jack” Windrush is back in action again.
 
With the Great Game in full swing, Andrew has to accompany a British agent to the Frontier to counter suspected Russian moves against British India. The situation is complicated when the Chitralis besiege the small British garrison.
 
Marching with Colonel Kelly’s small relief force, Andrew finds evidence of Russian activity, but General Windrush suspects things are not all they seem. From Chitral, Andrew ventures to the Khyber Pass and to the Tirah, heartland of the Zakha Khel, the most warlike Afridi tribe.
 
The action rages from the frozen passes and ragged mountains of the Khyber to the tea shops of Simla, as Andrew and Jack try to piece together the pieces of a complicated jigsaw.
 
Set in late 19th century India, JIGSAW ON THE KHYBER is the fourth book in Malcolm Archibald's series of historical war novels.

Mr. Bingley leaves Hertfordshire after his ball, throwing the Bennet family into turmoil and Jane Bennet into despair. Sensing an opportunity, Mr. Collins capitalizes on this event to stoke Mrs. Bennet's fears in his attempt to force Elizabeth Bennet's to accept him, but Elizabeth remains firm. 
 
Gossip reveals that Netherfield Park is to be opened again, but the resident at the estate is soon revealed to be Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy. Elizabeth does not appreciate Mr. Darcy, for his slight of her and the stories from Mr. Wickham have left her in a state of festering disapproval and disdain for the gentleman from the north. 
 
The gentleman proposes to her, leading to Elizabeth's acrimonious refusal, but she soon realizes her opinion of Mr. Darcy is amiss when he explains certain facts of Mr. Wickham's history and acts to bring Mr. Bingley back to Hertfordshire. She allows Mr. Darcy to call on her, determined to learn more about the enigmatic gentleman. 
 
Yet Mr. Collins has not abandoned his hope. A man so ineffectual as he is no temptation for Elizabeth, and he just may yet be of some use to her, for there is no comparison between a silly parson and a gentleman such as Mr. Darcy . . .
