Operative II - The Wretches of Kabul

Operative intervenes again. This time in a kidnapping in Afghanistan.

The novel trilogy The Operative continues with the second part. Once again we meet Captain David Prokop, who is deployed as a military intelligence operative with the Czech Army contingent in Afghanistan. Just before the end of his mission, however, a Czech couple is kidnapped and Captain Prokop is immediately called to the case. What drove the Afghan kidnappers to commit such a desperate crime and why did they not even claim responsibility for the kidnapping? Is it even possible to track down a Czech couple in the dark alleys of Kabul's suburbs? And how will it all affect David's personal life again?
The Losers of Kabul is loosely based on the spy thriller The Rule of Three Sources. Eduard Krainer knows the environment he writes about perfectly, which makes his novels very authentic. It realistically depicts the work of an investigator, the operational procedures of the army and the interaction of different nationalities on a foreign mission. His action scenes, handled with wit and insight, entertain and horrify the reader at the same time. In this book, Eduard Krainer draws on his own experience - during his time in the Afghan mission he was actively involved in the search for two Czech women kidnapped in 2013 in the province of Baluchistan in Pakistan.
