'Tense, taut and totally authentic' D. V. Bishop, author of City of
Vengeance 'Fresh and fascinating' Susi Holliday, author of The Last
Resort A murdered man. A stolen artefact. A search for justice in a
city where violence and corruption rule...2003. Kabul has become a
frontier city, Afghanistan's fledgling democracy struggling with
crime and corruption as NATO coalition troops, gangs and warlords
jostle for control. A city where justice is an ideal and security
means carrying a gun. 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. Precious antiquities, 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, to prevent her war-torn country being
further denuded for profit. And she has a lead... The soldier's
death was no accident. Why was he so far from the British base in
the middle of the night? And alone? 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, where violence and corruption rule. A fast-paced,
compelling adventure through the streets of Kabul, perfect for Jack
Reacher fans. Praise for Death in Kabul 'A tense, taut and totally
authentic thriller that grips from the first page and doesn't let
go. Death in Kabul immerses you in 2003 Kabul, riven by corruption
where danger lurks in every alley. Be careful who you trust' D. V.
Bishop, author of City of Vengeance 'A vividly portrayed murder
mystery in a fresh and fascinating setting. With wonderful
characters and a great plot, I hope this is the first of many from
this duo' Susi Holliday, author of The Last Resort 'Authentic,
thrilling and brilliantly plotted, Death in Kabul is a cracking
action thriller that brings the city vividly to life - just read
it!' Marion Todd, author of See Them Run 'Rich and atmospheric,
Death in Kabul plunges us directly into the grubby, noisy streets
of the capital and to a murder investigation that kept me in its
thrall to the end' Louisa Scarr, author of Under a Dark Cloud 'It's
a first class police thriller with a big difference. The
investigation whips through shady characters and locales at
breakneck pace but the setting removes all the familiar procedural
techniques, keeping you on the edge of your seat right to the
stunning finale. Explosive stuff!' D. L. Marshall, author of Black
Run 'One of the most authentic thrillers I've read for ages. Drags
you headfirst into the colourful Kabul underworld, and sends you
barrelling down its backstreets at a frenetic pace that just
doesn't let up' Robert Scragg, author of End of the Line
