Unaware of the grave danger which awaits them, Senator Gavin Manson and his brilliant new researcher, Alexandra, delve innocently into a secret operation being run by the CIA. When Alex realizes she has uncovered a covert CIA plot to smuggle Afghan heroin into the U.S., she and Gavin become concerned they have become targets of the agency's deep secret operation. Apparently, they had stuck their noses into places they shouldn't have. Others who had dug too deeply into the agency's business, like California reporter Gary Webb in 2004, ended up dead. Webb supposedly committed suicide by shooting himself in the head... twice. Or so a Los Angeles coroner ruled. On the run and running out of time, they must find answers to a confusing puzzle of incidents. What was the connection between the high-seas piracy of a private yacht in the Florida Keys, shipping containers full of heroin stolen from a New York harbor, two dead investigative reporters, and a threatening phone call from an anonymous government agent? Staying alive would mean staying ahead of the agency's professional pursuers until they find the answers they need to save themselves. But that will not be easy, the Company does not play nice when one of its black operations is threatened. Afghan Horse is a fast-paced, globe-trotting, heart-pounding thriller; a seamless blend of fact and fiction, loyalty and betrayal, suspense and intrigue, that will keep you turning pages, never quite sure what's happening until the very end Readers are saying...
