Opis

A DEADLY WEB OF VILLAINY AND DECEIT March 19, 2003: The invasion of Baghdad is imminent. Saddam Hussein withdraws over a billion dollars in cash from the Iraqi Central Bank. Within days, the U.S. Army recovers most of the loot. But not all of it. January, 2004: A U.S. Army intelligence investigator is assigned to probe reports of appalling abuse of Iraqi prisoners by Army guards at Abu Ghraib prison. This leads to numerous courts-martial convictions and other disciplinary actions, along with worldwide condemnation of both the atrocities and the complicity of top U.S. government officials. A decade later: Winery executive Lisa Gold is shot trying to prevent a murder in a Napa Valley vineyard. This triggers a series of events that will ultimately expose a shocking connection between Saddam's missing millions and the Abu Ghraib scandal. As threats to her life escalate, Lisa finds herself ensnared in a deadly web of villainy and deceit-a web she and her husband, tech CEO Mike Gold, race to untangle before she's hopelessly trapped. This is the fifth book in the Mike Gold Mystery Series. Mike is a great Silicon Valley CEO, but trouble seems to find him with alarming regularity. This book ties up some loose ends left, intentionally, at the end of "Slice: Mike Gold Mystery Book 4."
