STEALING FROM THE DEAD

English Summary/英文概要: Greta Strasser is a hardboiled NYPD detective always at odds with her superiors. When she begins a routine investigation into the seemingly innocent death of an elderly Holocaust survivor, she uncovers a huge plot with widespread international implications that could launch her to the top of the NYPD—or embroil her in more danger than she, or the U.S. government, can hope to get out of. U.S. congressional pressure has forced Swiss banks to return huge sums, totaling millions of dollars, to Holocaust survivors. The families of these survivors had placed their fortunes in Swiss banks to protect them from Nazi seizure at the start of the Holocaust, and the banks have made asset recovery next to impossible for years—until now. Unfortunately others are lurking, hoping to seize the opportunity that numerous money transfers provide and steal the family fortunes of the aging survivors. As her investigation continues, Greta discovers that she has stumbled into the shadowy dealings of Middle Eastern operatives, who are systematically killing the wouldbe recipients of these vast fortunes.
It will take the combined efforts of Greta, the FBI, the CIA, and Homeland Security to ferret out the ringleaders and save more Holocaust survivors from certain, unexpected death. Contemporary, fastmoving, gritty, and horribly plausible, STEALING FROM THE DEAD is another triumph by the writers who brought you THE LOST VAN GOGH.
