Pairs Vendetta by Steve Berry

Steve Berry is one of my favorite authors. This book is interesting and very thought provoking. At first, Paris Vendetta is about Napoleon's lost treasure of stolen art and antiquities. It also concerns the Paris Club which secretly wrecks havoc with the world's financial systems. Economics is the ultimate weapon of mass destruction. The book reveals a financial conspiracy and expert financial manipulations that devalue currencies. Who benefits from the power of money???

The First Rule is the thieves code for organized criminal gangs of the former Soviet Union. There is a tangle of ancient grudges,vengeance and blood ties.
Joe pike and Elvis Cole take care of their own and are plunged into a terrible world. I could not stop reading. Fast paced and a great read!!!
