GORBACHEV STOLE MY CONKERS

This comedy spy thriller is set in the Cold War when Russia was plotting to invade Afghanistan for its rich oil and gas reserves, while Britain and its allies set about sabotaging the Kremlin’s madcap plans at every turn.

Iconic British and Russian politicians are portrayed as young spies in this deadly game of espionage with Margret Thatcher, Boris Yeltsin, and Michael Gorbachev all going head to head; while Margaret's cross-dressing fiancee ‘Denis’ embarks on a dangerous mission to win the Afghan Presidents trust and secure oil and gas supplies before its too late.

Meanwhile, amongst the mayhem, Kabul's leading Archaeologist discovers an empty King’s tomb and desperately hunts for its missing treasures before a drug-crazed Boris can trigger Armageddon.

The book weaves between true historic events and draws on British and Russian influence on Afghanistan and how past mistakes shaped today's turbulent world.
