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."
