Quiller Salamander

In this 18th adventure in Adam Hall’s epic series, Quiller is sent to Phnom Penh, Cambodia, where chaos abounds as the deadline for the United Nations–supervised elections approaches. There is fear that Pol Pot, creator of the infamous “killing fields,” will fight to return the murderous Communist party, known as the Khmer Rouge, to power. Quiller’s only ally is Gabrielle Bouchard, a photojournalist who is waging her own personal war against the Khmer Rouge. Though Pol Pot is deathly ill, Quiller learns that he has carefully chosen a successor who plans to direct the next Cambodian bloodbath. Quiller’s mission, code-named “Salamander,” leads him deep into the perilous jungles of Phnom Penh, where he must protect not only his own life but also the future of Cambodia.
