As I mentioned in my other articles, reading crime fiction set in various countries has seized my fancy for the last few years. There are several countries which do not figure often in crime fiction though these countries are probably racked by plenty of 'real' crime!
The two crime fiction books set in Afghanistan which I had the pleasure to read are
The warlord's son by Dan Fesperman (He has written another crime fiction novel which is set in Dubai)
The third book in the trilogy of Tom Rob Smith i.e. Agent 6 is set in Afghanistan. Though the entire book is not in Afghanistan, it gives quite an insight into the Afghanistan during the time of Soviet invasion. One realizes what a bloody mess the two giants USA and USSR have made of Afghanistan over the years as one reads this and other books!
