The Mandrake File : a novel (New edition)

In a Kabul ravaged by violence and corruption, Murder Squad boss Osama Kandar still believes in integrity, a code of honour, and loyalty to old friends.

But the apparent suicide of a businessman called Wali Wadi changes everything. As Kandar's routine investigation starts to suggest murder, a Swiss-based organisation known as The Entity is doing everything in its power to stop him - even if it means putting an end to his life and those of innocent civilians.

Meanwhile, Entity analyst Nick Snee is looking for a man named Leonard Mandrake, who has information that The Entity is desperate for.

When Snee discovers that Mandrake's information is related to Wali Wadi's death, he joins forces with Kandar to find out what everybody is after, and why so many lives are being destroyed in the wake of the Mandrake Affair. What they discover is far more important than either could have possibly imagined.
