In Memory of Greed takes the reader on a thrill-filled ride that spans three continents. The reader will be swept up in the fast pace, characters, exotic locales, and wondering who will come out on top.Murkin Mocado, son of a senator and ex-Navy SEAL is framed for a crime he didn't commit. However, someone thinks they can use his talents for their own nefarious purposes. He is taken from the hospital and flown to Ireland, where he is filled in on his new "mission."However, Mocado soon learns through a rather unconventional source that his "mission" isn't what he thinks it is. This source of information comes from an intelligent, brave young woman by the name of Joelle Barstow. She is rising quickly in the ranks of industrial espionage, and as luck would have it, she is investigating the very men who have hired Mocado. Unfortunately, a series of events has been set into motion that culminates in an ecological disaster that is horrifically easy to believe happening in the world as we know it.Boudreau intricately weaves the tales of Mocado and Barstow such that the reader is left on the edge of their seat, wondering if Mocado can stop the disaster, and if Barstow can find those responsible and bring them to justice.My only complaint was that the beginning seemed to rushed. I would have liked more information and description, to really slow things down a little more, to put me in the middle of the action, especially with the train wreck. And there were many areas where there were words capitalized (things like lad and thank you) and it threw me at first, but after getting into the story, I attributed it to a quirk of the writer and just ignored them after that.If would recommend this book to anyone who likes espionage/thriller/adventure/crime novels. The characters are so amazing and the description of Ireland and Kenya blew me AWAY! I felt like I was really there and it really added an element of realism to the novel.
