The Panama Papers
have several people very concerned. Dexter Worthington used one of
the accounts fifteen years ago to bribe a Saudi business man. Now a
successful defense contractor, he fears exposure. The Taskforce is
also concerned. They too have accounts that might show up in the
Panama Papers.
Pike Logan and
Jennifer Cahill are assigned to interdict the leak and control the
damage. Since the assignment sends them to the Bahamas, this seems
like a plum assignment and maybe time for a vacation in the sun. Once
in the Bahamas, Pike and Jennifer find things that seem more
complicated than a simple case of leaked information.
In fact, the Saudis
have been using some of the accounts to fund terrorism around the
world and the next attack is soon to take place. Called Ring of Fire,
the attack is designed to disrupt shipping in the biggest ports in
the US. Acting with little information, Pike and Jennifer start
pulling the threads they have in an effort to avert disaster.
The is a typical
Pike Logan fast paced thriller. The plot is complicated since several
groups of terrorist are involved and acting independently. If you
like action, this is a great read.
The characters are
typical action heroes. Pike reminds me more of a superhero than a
Taskforce investigator. Jennifer is a great character. She doesn’t
take crap from Pike and holds her own in the action arena.
I particularly like
the realistic background information: Saudis funding terror, the use
of drones as killing machines, and Mossack Fonseca, the law firm that
created the Panama Papers. If you like fast paced action, you’ll
enjoy this book.
I received this book
from Dutton for this review.
