Virgins of Kandahar

About the Book

Bob Murray worked for defense contractor Light Horse, Inc. in Afghanistan, mentoring police soldiers and their officers in Kandahar. He serves two masters, the US Department of State and Department of Defense. Sometimes it is difficult to please both entities. Bob and his close friend Jake Wilson help each other in accomplishing their mission while maintaining good morale for both. The corruption they see while in the mission is sometimes mind boggling and makes them wonder if it is worth their effort to train the Afghans. They continue working in the police program and hope they can sway the corrupt ones to change and instill integrity into the new police soldiers and officers. Bob becomes the chief of a new systems team in Kandahar; putting in place changes that instill a more democratic model in the police culture. It is an uphill battle with some success that comes with the inevitable loss of life in the process. The systems team becomes involved in the investigation of a Chechen organized crime syndicate in Afghanistan. The Chechens are moving large quantities of heroin into Moscow. Now the investigation takes a more international perspective and involves many countries including the United States.
