The Book of Spies and The Coil
The Book of Spies by Gayle Lynds was a bit too violent for me but I love the mystery of the search for Ivan the Terrible's lost library. Ms Lynd's interest in the Library was piqued by a newspaper article on the secret tunnels underneath Moscow.
One of the exquisite books appears and the murders start. It is left to rare books co-ordinator Eva Blake to find the Library and those that control it. It is a world of the rich and famous, the CIA and international espionage.
The Coil is an earlier book with similar parts of CIA, M6 of Great Britain, hired "janitors", European Union, free trade, Nautilus and those protesting free trade.
Again there is a secret group of powerful men who started out with a positive vision of helping the world economy (and themselves) but have slipped into murder, secrecy and self-promoting actions. Like The Book of Spies this is a fast paced ride through a world we can only hope does not exist.

This book was action packed and never gave me a moment to put it down, I love that in a book. Somethings seemed unfinished, but for the most part it was a good book. Very fast to read.
