He investigates, and then solves, White Collar' crimes at crooked investment firms and banks that are so-called "too big to fail."In this seventh of the quite exciting, 'Charlie O'Brien, Private Investigator' series, he finds himself in the quite dangerous, Bagdad, IRAQ. Someone has just embezzled $250,000,000.00 [i.e. 1/4 of a billion dollars] from the 'Farmers and Merchants Commerce Bank' in Baghdad. Now the CIA, and the NSA have sent our man Charlie to the quite volatile Middle East region where they do not seem to like foreigners and especially Americans. Keep your head down, your eyes wide open and you gun handy, someone told Charlie as he boarded the big C-17 cargo plane at the Camp Pendleton Marine Base in Oceanside, California. Pendleton is huge Marine Base and it is located half way between downtown Los Angeles, and lovely San Diego, California.
