Lt. Lou Boldt is still top cop in the ninth installment of Pearson's Seattle Police Department series. (Undercurrents; No Witnesses; etc.). This time the case involves Boldt's wife, Liz, who's weathered many a storm throughout her marriage: chemotherapy, a separation, the kidnapping of their daughter and now the revelation of her affair with David Hayes, a computer whiz at the bank where she's an executive. Hayes embezzled $17 million and went to jail, but now he's free and the never-recovered money has both cops and robbers interested in his whereabouts. Liz had nothing to do with the theft, but Russian mobster Gen. Yasmani Svengrad (known as the Sturgeon General because he's the head of a caviar importing company) thinks the money belongs to him, and she's the key to getting it back.
Lou Boldt's wife had an affair with an embezzler at the bank. He went to jail but now he is out and the money has never been recovered. The Russian mob thinks Liz is the key to recovering the money so Lou must find the money while protecting his wife. Very good book

This was an exciting read. It's a combination of detective work, banking, embezzlement, hi-tech and intrigue. My book club read and enjoyed it. I'll look for Ridley Pearson books with the same lead characers.
