The Baghdad Shuffle - Paperback

by Josh Bates (Author)

Baghdad burning

A fortune on the run

And one marine caught in the flames

Iraq, 2003. Baghdad has fallen. Saddam is on the run. A cabal of deposed Iraqi officials scramble to move millions in illicit cash out of the country to finance new beginnings abroad. U.S. Marine Jim Wilde stumbles onto their money trail and uncovers a lethal plot connecting Baghdad, Los Angeles, and the wilds of Baja, with a desperate web of Iraqi intelligence operatives, Corsican gangsters, Mexican outlaws, CIA officers, and U.S. law enforcement agents.

Hardboiled, profane, and as unnerving as a night patrol, The Baghdad Shuffle is the first dance in a trilogy of war, crime, and revenge that cuts new wounds in the modern American experience in the Middle East.
