An espionage thriller set in pre-Taliban Afghanistan. When a shipment of Stinger missiles disappears, a CIA officer becomes entangled in an unusual triangle with a journalist and her former lover, now an elusive mujahideen chief. These characters lead us into a world of danger, a world of spy versus spy, where hidden agendas provide their own kind of veil. until the truth is revealed in a shocking climax. From the last battlefield of the Cold War to the tribal no-man’s land of the War on Terror, Stinger sets the stage for the profound events playing out today in Central Asia.

Lead Review

Set at the time when the Russians are in Afghanistan (so a bit before the Americans – does nobody learn?) this is quite a thriller with a bit of love interest
