Like many people, I like reading a good "who dunnit" mystery story. When I first started the book, I wasn't sure that I was going to like this book - by the time I got into the second chapter, I was captivated! I didn't want to put the book down, I stayed up late just to read it and I put off production to get through this book.

This story takes you on a trip to many different countries, describes the different cultures so that you feel as if you are there and has many near escapes that will keep you turning the pages. In this story, the author gives you intrigue, unexpected plot twists and turns, and such a very real picture that you wonder at times if this is truly fact or is it really just fiction.

Dan Gorden, the main character, is very good at reviewing evidence and finding information that was overlooked by others. When he takes on the Chameleon Case, it had stumped international law enforcement for twenty years. His ability to zoom in on the points that had been missed by others leads him to more information which leads him into some very rough times. Seems he also has a knack for getting himself out of the tight binds he finds himself in - with the help of many friends along the way.

Does he live through his escapades? Does he help to solve the case? Well, you are going to have to read this wonderful page turning book to find out!

"The Chameleon Conspiracy" is a high-speed thrilling ride around the globe where Dan Gordon of the Justice Department investigates the case of the Chameleon, a baffling figure that has stolen millions of dollars while portraying many people and avoiding capture for twenty years. Gordon finds out the funds are being used for terrorist activities. Haggai Carmon has written an international spy story that is captivating and entertaining.

One of my favorite genres of reading is espionage, spy, CIA type plots. When I started this novel and it was about tracking down money-laundering schemes and recovering the money, and the agent was an attorney from the Department of Justice. I first thought, this was not going to be my "cup of tea". Well, I was wrong. It started out slow and I almost lost interest, but it built and it built and then I could not put it down. Dan Gordon is a very believable character and you can almost feel yourself immersed in the details of unraveling the scheme.

The international flavor of moving the action from New York to Switzerland, Vienna, Iran, etc. really adds to the enjoyment of the novel. The twists and turns are not necessarily predictable, but pretty straightforward.
