The Wreckage: A Thriller: Joseph O'Loughlin, cartea 5
Autor Michael Robothamen Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 mai 2012
Billions
of
dollars
are
missing
from
Iraqi
banks,
and
journalist
Luca
Terracini
will
risk
everything
to
discover
where
it
is.
His
Iraqi-American
background
has
made
it
easier
for
him
to
infiltrate
the
darkest
corners
of
the
war,
but
death
of
his
beloved
Nicola
in
a
suicide
bombing
has
made
him
reckless.
In pursuit of the money, he meets UN representative Daniela Garner, who seems to know more about the heist than anyone. As Luca gets closer, his actions begin to reverberate around the world.
As usual, it's all about the money: who has it, who's lost it, and who's ultimately going to pay, as clandestine agents emerge from the shadows and powerful nations seek to control information and bury secrets, no matter the cost.

Recenzii
"[An]
international
crime
thriller
with
short,
punchy
chapters
that
shift
abruptly-suspensefully,
even-from
London
to
Baghdad
to
Washington
and
other
locales,
just
like
the
movies....I
readThe
Wreckageon
vacation...a
good
call
on
my
part;
it's
nothing
if
not
a
summer
read...There
are
plenty
of
murders,
chases,
explosion
and
general
mayhem."—The
New
York
Times
Book
Review
"A high-voltage international thriller ... terrific suspense set against an exotic backdrop,The Wreckageis easily one of the summer's most unputdownable books."—BookPage
"I have seldom read a more chilling and suspenseful tale. Robotham makes you see the sand, smell the burning oil and feel the bullets flying past. Most thrillers are lucky to have one great character; Robotham has given us at least four. They sweat, bleed and cry with such raw emotion that you can barely catch your breath and the words on the page feel like a million needles beneath your clenched fingers. This is a writer who will give you a slice of the Middle East you will never see on CNN or Fox. Robotham is the real deal and we can only hope he will write faster."—David Baldacci
"A fast-paced, gritty story that raises disturbing real-world questions ... will appeal to readers seeking summer fiction with depth."—Library Journal
"One of the best novels to come out of the chaos of Iraq; a penetrating peek through the fog of war, and a high-octane thriller."
—Nelson Demille
"A fine and ambitious thriller...the serpentine plot is rooted in truth...thoroughly compelling."—Booklist, Starred Review
