Baz Khan, an Afghan-American investigative journalist, is in Kabul researching a story. Precious antiquities are disappearing amid the chaos, never to be seen again. Baz is determined to uncover whoever is spiriting them away, and she has a lead. . .The soldier's death was no accident. Why was he so far from the British base in the middle of the night? And alone?
