A murdered man. A stolen artefact. A quest for justice... 2003. Kabul has become a frontier city, the fledgling democracy struggling with crime and exploitation as NATO troops, gangs and warlords vie for control. When the body of a British serviceman is discovered in the city’s infamous tank graveyard, the Kabul police reach out for support in their investigation. Alasdair ‘Mac’ MacKenzie, formerly of the Metropolitan police, is seconded to the team. Baz Khan, an Afghan-American investigative journalist, is in Kabul researching a story. Priceless artefacts of the country’s rich history are disappearing amid the chaos, never to be seen again. Baz is determined to uncover whoever is spiriting them away, and she has a lead… As Baz and Mac investigate, they quickly realise they have each stumbled on something far bigger than they reckoned with, and are tossed into the Kabul underworld. A fast-paced adventure perfect for Jack Reacher fans. ‘Kept me in its thrall to the end’ Lousia Scarr, author of Under a Dark Cloud
