The Wreckage by Michael Robotham

Second Hand

The fifth book in the Joe O'Loughlin series, the inspiration for the major ITV drama The Suspect.

In London, ex-cop Vincent Ruiz rescues a young woman from a violent boyfriend but wakes next morning to find that he's been set up and robbed. As he tracks down the thieves, he discovers the boyfriend's tortured body and learns that powerful men are looking for the girl. What did Holly Knight steal that is so important to them?

Meanwhile in Baghdad, the bank robbery capital of the world, billions of dollars in reconstruction funds has gone missing and Pulitzer prize-winning Journalist Luca Terracini is trying to 'follow the money'. The dangerous trail will lead him to London where he teams up with Vincent Ruiz and together they investigate the disappearance of an international banker and a mysterious 'black hole' in the bank's accounts.

Although the Joe O'Loughlin books can be read in any order, The Wreckage is the fifth in the series after Bleed for Me. The next in the series is Say You're Sorry.
