Publisher Description
As U.S. troops prepare to withdraw from Afghanistan, and the Taliban is poised to take over, the CIA calls upon the Austrian aristocrat Malko Linge to execute a dangerous and delicate plan to restore stability to the region.
On the ground in Kabul, Malko reconnects with an old flame and hires a South African mercenary to assist with his mission. But Malko doesn't know whom he can trust. His every move is monitored by President Karzai's entourage, Taliban leaders, a seductive American journalist--and a renegade within the CIA itself. Before he can pull off his plan, Malko is kidnapped and nearly killed. When he finally manages to escape, he finds himself alone and running for his life in a hostile city.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The uneven second Malko Linge novel to be published in the U.S. (after The Madmen of Benghazi) finds impoverished Austrian nobleman and secret agent once again taking an extremely delicate contract job with the CIA. John Mulligan, the White House national security adviser and Clayton Luger, deputy director of the CIA, inform Malko that the U.S. is sick of Afghanistan president Hamid Karzai's demands and has decided that he must be killed. Malko reluctantly takes the job, and heads to Kabul, where his mission quickly begins to fall apart. Malko hires Nelson Barry, a South African security expert, to do the actual shooting, leaving Malko free to have hot, graphic sex with his old girlfriend in Kabul, Maureen Kieffer. Soon after discovering that there's a traitor somewhere in his organization, he's on the run, though he manages to find time to have sex with several other women. Eventually, the story runs out of steam. De Villiers (1929 2013) published more than 200 spy novels Hring Linge.
