This is the first full length novel of Archer I have read. The central idea is preposterous! Imagine stealing the Declaration of Independence!
Now that Sadam Hussein is dead and gone, I could well imagine him paying the crooks big money to humiliate all Americans. Of course the CIA would come to the rescue to counter steal the valuable piece of parchment. After lots of bullets were shot, the hero and the heroine were the only ones who escaped with their lives to tell the tale. The anti climax of the story came when it was discovered that what came back from Iraq was another fake. Then the action went to the crooks' hideout. Imagine big wig and hero arrested and thrown in police lock-up! That was what it took to recover a national treasure for posterity.
If I am a cinematic director, this story would make an exciting movie to add to my box office successes!
