Ken Follett

A novel set in the turbulent period of the Cold War, with the action taking place in Afghanistan during the Soviet invasion. The story combines elements of espionage, love and political intrigue in one of the world's most unstable regions.

The main protagonist, Jane Lambert, finds herself in a love triangle between two men who represent opposite sides of the Cold War: Jean-Pierre Debout - her charming but morally ambiguous lover, who secretly collaborates with the Soviets. Ellis Thaler - CIA agent and Jane's former partner, who comes to Afghanistan to support the Mujahideen in their fight against the Soviet occupation.

Placed at the center of conflict by political and personal circumstances, Jane must make difficult decisions as she tries to protect innocent lives, including her own. The action unfolds through journeys through the mountainous regions of Afghanistan, which heightens the tension and sense of danger.

Throughout the story, Follett explores themes such as human endurance, morality in wartime, and the consequences of love in a world divided by ideology.

Ken Follett masterfully uses the historical background to build an authentic atmosphere, while portraying the complexity of human relationships and political conflicts through the characters. The novel is an exciting combination of adventure, romance and espionage.

For all lovers of historical thrillers and emotionally layered stories, "In the Lion's Den" is a work not to be missed.

Ken Follett

Follet, autor svjetski poznatih bestselera, opet umješno plete klupko zavjere, izdaje, ljubavi i laži; od rješavanja naizgled bezazlenog slučaja krađe laboratorijske životinje, pa do posljedica koje su izvan naših najluđih snova ili noćnih mora.
