The Wreckage: A Thriller Review
Robotham's consistency makes him a sure bet, The Wreckage crossing continents from Iraq to London (and Washington) as a London scam-and-theft inspires a hunt for stolen goods that threaten some powerful and dangerous people. Richard North, a London-based financier is missing, currently suspected of embezzling millions. Holly Knight scampers from one robbery to another until stumbling across Good Samaritan Vincent Ruiz, her actions not sitting too well with the ex-detective. Meanwhile in Baghdad, journalist Luca Terracini has picked up the scent of corruption on a massive scale, intent on following the trail of unaccounted for billions under the umbrella of war in Iraq, aided in assembling the puzzle by Diana Garner, a genius at tracking the intricacies of accounting and fortunes hidden in numbered accounts.
Between London and Baghdad, Robotham fashions a compelling tale of power and greed, the recent bank crisis igniting both catastrophe and opportunity. The action shifts between the two countries, seemingly unrelated as Ruiz and Terracini follow convoluted clues that grow more threatening the closer each gets to identifying critical players. The action is fast-paced as two separate investigations become one, an appalling attempt to murder, defraud and disappear without a trace. The characters are multi-faceted, from the world-weary Ruiz and the driven Luca to the chronically suspicious Holly, who inadvertently throws a wrench into an international scheme with her choice of Richard North as a victim. Robotham displays his broad cultural experience as well as intricate knowledge of sophisticated financial practices that affect massive amounts of money in various countries: "Globalization in microcosm; profit as God."
This is classic good guys vs. bad, but these scarred warriors are no slick James Bond types, rather flawed men trying to make a difference in a broken world. The female characters are fully-fleshed, holding their own in an environment dominated by powerful men. The result is both shocking and realistic, any margin of good tempered with the exigent circumstances of government and corporate self-interests: "Every side has men who kill for a cause. Some motives are easier to understand." With this edgy thriller, Robotham is staking his claim as a major player, but without the sophisticated cynicism that sometimes defines this genre. Luan Gaines/2011.
