Booktopia Comments

‘In The Mandrake File, Bannel has created one of the most fascinating, complex detectives of contemporary crime fiction: [In] Osama Kandar … he has created an unforgettable expression of the resilience of the Afghan spirit. Here’s hoping that this is the first in a Kandar series.’
Caroline Baum, Booktopia

Product Description

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, the Minister for Security attempts to foil his every move, motivating him even more to solve the alleged crime.

Meanwhile, a Swiss-based secret organisation known as The Entity is doing everything in its power to terminate Kandar's investigation, even if it means putting an end to his life and those of innocent civilians. Wali Wadi's murderer must not be found, whatever the cost.

At the same time, Entity analyst Nick Snee is looking for a man named Leonard Mandrake, who has information that The Entity is desperate for. When Snee Nick 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 innocent lives are being destroyed in the wake of the Mandrake Affair.

What they discover is far more important than either could have possibly imagined.
