Used Book – The Lions of Panshir, Ken Follett

Jane, a young English student living in Paris, discovers that the man of her dreams, an American named Ellis, is not the penniless poet he claims to be, but a CIA agent. Out of spite, she marries Jean-Pierre, a young, idealistic doctor like herself, who takes her to Afghanistan. They live there, treating resistance fighters in the Valley of Lions, in the heart of the Panjshir. But Jean-Pierre is not the devoted doctor everyone believes him to be. The nightmare then begins for Jane... Against the magnificent backdrop of Afghanistan's landscapes, in the midst of the fierce struggle between resistance fighters and Moscow's troops, this superb adventure and suspense novel maintains a pace that constantly accelerates towards a violent and unexpected denouement, as always with Ken Follett, the author of numerous bestsellers, from Eye of the Needle to The Man from St. Petersburg.
