Quiller Salamander

Eager for a new assignment, Quiller accepts a rogue mission from a Bureau director whom he does not trust. He is sent to Cambodia, where people are still living in terror of a return to power of Pol Pot, the homicidal dictator responsible for the Killing Fields that had left over a million people dead. Quiller must infiltrate terrorist organizations to discover Pol Pot's plans to return to power. His control makes increasingly dangerous demands, and Quiller's survival chances in the hot, dangerous and mysterious country seem slim. New York Times bestselling author Sidney Sheldon described this novel as "A spine-tingling, teeth-clenching tale of suspense--Quiller at his best!"
