In your latest Sharpe book is the character of the now missing Dodd based on the character from the Forester book ‘Rifleman Dodd’? Will he by any chance turn up. Is he based on the real Dodd? Lee Brake

Just wondering if there was any further significance to Rifleman Matthew Dodd’s disapperance in chapter 4 of Sharpe’s Escape? Great Fan by the way. D. Boen
