Malraux

Matthew Thorne, a former Army intelligence officer fresh off an adventure in the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon, is sent to Morocco in 1959 on a perilous mission. As a favor to a shadowy éminence grise named Aristide, Thorne takes on the task of searching for Malraux, a missing French Secret Service agent. From a deadly caravan trek into the Sahara to an abandoned Foreign Legion fort, Thorne finds himself surrounded by sandy graves and lurking vipers. In a desert climate of betrayal and intrigue, Thorne must determine the truth behind friend and foe alike—and getting out alive becomes the ultimate mission.
