Surface to Air

"In New Jersey, an immigrant mourns the deaths of his family, killed in a U.S. airstrike in Pakistan. Vowing revenge against his adoptive country, he reaches out to extremist groups online--and is delighted to make contact with a Muslim terrorist who promises to help him get a surface-to-air missile from the Russians. His plan is to shoot down Air Force One. The CIA sends Malko Linge to monitor the would-be terrorist. But then Chechen rebels steal the truckload of surface-to-air missiles and carry them off into the hinterlands. With help from his old friend, the crooked Georgian double agent Gocha Sukhumi, and from Gocha's alluring paramour, Julia Naryshkin, Malko will pursue the missiles into Chechnya and Dagestan, risking life and limb to stop the plot before it's too late."--Provided by the publisher.
