The Looters (2014)
“I had questions to ask him. No longer did I think of my troubles as having started when I waved the paddle to buy the mask. Abdullah made a connection that went straight back to the looting of the museum. I wanted to know more about what he saw that day when Baghdad fell to the allied forces. And more about the evidence he said he was getting to prove the mask had been a museum piece.
After a restless night tossing and turning and thinking about my conversation with Neal, I had come to the conclusion that I had to take care of my own interests. Two things drove this home: Neal was shallow enough to throw a woman he slept with to the wolves, and I couldn’t play innocent with Agent Nunes because he knew I was lying. I had to give him someone else to chew on.
The one name that kept dominating my thoughts was Viktor Milan. He had come to signify an evil force in my mind, a Svengali who stayed behind the scenes and manipulated others to do his bidding. Even his name sounded sinister.
More ...than anything, I needed someone to fill in the blanks about Milan.MoreLess
