Chaos in Kabul

Our second publication in the Malko Linge series, featuring an Austrian nobleman who is regularly hired by the CIA to carry out the most dangerous and delicate assignments. The long-running spy novel series, written by Gérard de Villiers, has been hailed as France's answer to James Bond.
 
In Chaos in Kabul, Malko is summoned to Washington by the White House National Security Advisor and asked to carry out the assassination of Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai. President Obama is desperate to get all American troops out of Afghanistan by December 2014, but the country's always unpredictable president has proven to be a major obstacle. After accepting the mission and traveling to Kabul, Malko is kidnapped and nearly killed on the order of Karzai's entourage. It soon becomes clear that a renegade CIA officer has informed Karzai of the plot against him. After managing to escape, Malko finds himself alone and running for his life in a hostile city.
