Synopsis

Rollie Waters is the smartest guy in any room. He knows all the angles, and he’s never fewer than two steps ahead of trouble — a skill he learned from the con-artist father who raised him, though he hasn’t seen him in years. Like his father, Dan, Rollie knows how to offer cheap gifts with one hand while stealing the family silver with the other. But unlike Dan, Rollie is not a criminal. Rollie’s childhood was a mesh of perfectly believable lies stretched so thin that he barely knows who he is. It’s only when he’s working undercover as a Marine, inhabiting a false identity, that Rollie is comfortable in his own skin. The danger of deep undercover work makes use of his talents and keeps him out of trouble. Most of the time. After he’s yanked out of his latest assignment and tossed in the brig, he’s only partly surprised when the officials in charge mention one name: Dan Waters. U.S. government money — a lot of money — has gone missing, and they think Rollie’s father took it. The only way to find Dan is to trace the frail tendrils of truth scattered among Rollie’s childhood memories. To do that, he’ll have to go deep into the undercover identity of a lifetime: his own.

Millions of Saddam's dollars are missing and Marine Rollie Waters is ordered to recover them since his father stole a ton of them. But who is Rollie working for and who can he trust?

Goodreads review by Larry on October 22, 2012

This is a well written and interesting (to a point) novel in which no one is a sympathetic character. The central plot line is about the theft of American aid and bribe money from Iraq by military men, and its shipment to America in place of the bodies of dead soldiers. The efforts of the thieves to......more

Goodreads review by Shelley on July 21, 2013

In an air conditioned room on a particularly hot and humid summer afternoon what could be better than immersing yourself in a diverting thriller? I took Caravan of Thieves home this weekend because I wanted to read it before Rich's second novel featuring Waters, Middle Man is released. I wasn't expe......more
