About this listen
Consultant Harry West is hired by the government in Hong Kong to evaluate a business deal promoted by the son of one of the richest men in Asia. But after Harry arrives in Hong Kong, he discovers the assignment is not what he expects. His client wants him to find evidence of money laundering and corruption, evidence that will kill the deal.
Harry has no experience investigating criminal schemes. He harbors doubts about his courage, being all too aware that the people he might expose will stop at nothing to protect themselves. However, he needs the work. He takes on the assignment, and soon it requires him to draw on resources that he never knew he had.
Along the way, Harry's journey is shaped by two women in Hong Kong, an American journalist who is investigating the same deal and a long-lost love who comes back into his life.
A suspenseful story about intrigue, revenge, and the bonds of love and memory, The Trail of Money keeps the reader guessing until the end.

Story
When Browder’s young Russian lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, was beaten to death in a Moscow jail in 2009, Browder cast aside his business career and made it his life’s mission to pursue justice for Sergei. One of the first steps of that mission was to uncover who had killed Sergei and profited from the $230 million corruption scheme that he had exposed. As Browder and his team tracked the money that flowed out of Russia—through the Baltics and Cyprus and on to Western Europe and the Americas—they discovered that Vladimir Putin himself was one of the beneficiaries of the crime.

Suspensful fast moving beautiful Hong Kong setting
Would you try another book from Peter David Shapiro and/or Scott L. Wilk?
This book fulfills your classic mystery thriller--compelling storylne involving male protagonist and beautiful, vulnerable woman. Unfortunately the writing was too similar to other thriller woriters (Connelly, Grisham) and a tragic occurrence was followed unrealistically with a 3-course dinner.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
I enjoyed the ending
Did Scott L. Wilk do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
One of the other flaws in this story was the lack of differentiation of characters by the narrator. I did like his smooth voice through.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
