THE WRECKAGE by Michael Robotham

Finished Tu 8/30/11

Billions of dollars are missing from Iraqi banks, and journalist Luca Terracini is hot on the trail of the missing funds with the help of a beautiful UN investigator, Daniela Garner. Meanwhile in London, a banking official who has uncovered rampant money laundering at his firm, is mugged by a ravishing beauty by the name of Holly, and she seems to be unwittingly in possession of some very dangerous information. Vincent Ruiz is a retired English police detective and he becomes caught up in this whirlwind of stolen cash, international terrorism, and government corruption involving some of the highest policy makers in Britain and the US.

This is an electrifying novel, and I would read anything else by this author. He has a background in journalism, and the sections of the novel which deal with double dealing and corporate malfeasance in Iraq have the absolute ring of truth.
