A Cold War attack by Soviet helicopters on an Afghan village. A knife-edge CIA operation that goes wrong. And a vengeful mujahideen tribesman, armed with Stinger missiles.áWhen CIA officeráJoe Johnsonáis handed the tough task by his boss of capturing a Soviet helicopter and forging better contacts among the mujahideen, he unknowingly finds himself up against a sinister KGB rival who wants him dead.But after coming under fire, Johnson comes to suspect that his difficulties stem not just from the Soviets&mdash,but from a traitor on his own side.To extricate himself from the web of deceit in which he finds himself, Johnson comes to rely on a female colleague from Britain&rsquo,s MI6, Jayne Robinson, to whom he grows unexpectedly close.As pressure mounts on Johnson from CIA headquarters at Langley and politicians in Washington, DC, the story reaches a climax during a life-or-death shootout in Jalalabad.The Afghan, set in 1988, is a thriller that forms a compelling prequel to the Joe Johnson series as a whole. It also creates the backdrop for book four in the series,áStalin&rsquo,s Final Sting, set in Afghanistan, New York City, and Moscow in the present day.Meet Joe Johnson today and read how he uncovers dark secrets.
