Impunity
When a Loomis armored vehicle carrying millions of dollars crashes on a remote mountain pass, three naive opportunists believe that they can finally do something more with their lives, solve their problems, and become the people they had always aspired to be. But even as Denny, Ashe, and Rufie find degrees of hope, courage and selflessness in their startling discovery, there are forces being set in motion that will make them yearn for their humdrum former lives.
Ashley Gerbers is a disillusioned war widow with two young daughters, struggling to make ends meet and growing bitter at the cards life has dealt to her. Rufus King is a nineteen year old black kid running from a bum murder rap and the tough gangs of Boston. And Dennis Fowler is a recovering alcoholic who has kidnapped his own son, determined to prove to his ex-wife - and to himself - that he can be a good father.
By the time Special Agent in Charge Lee Sanderson realizes that there is more to the Loomis case than a straightforward robbery, Ashe, Rufie and Denny - and their families - are in the cross hairs of an international crime boss who has been laundering millions through the Canadian border. Now Sanderson must save them - and his sexy partner - from a Russian mobster determined to recover his missing money and eliminate anyone who can expose his lucrative operation.

The first few chapters raise a question: What would you do?
Faced with a crashed money truck in the middle of nowhere, its doors burst open at the rear, and there, before you, millions of dollars in easily portable sacks. Would you take some? Who’d know?
A wonderfully engaging beginning to a book. I for one would probably do the same as the principle characters. I won’t go into any more detail concerning the consequences as this would spoil your read, however I will say it’s worth your time.
When I first began reading I thought this book would be similar to Scott Smith’s “A Simple Plan”. No it isn’t. Although the initial premise of finding a stack of cash is similar, Impunity is a far better book. All in all a superiorly crafted piece of work. It is written in a much more engaging style, it flows with more pace and has deeper more believable characters. I particularly liked the bad-guy back story and how it weaved into the main narrative, creating tension and a feeling of anxiety for the main players.
An excellent novel and highly recommended.

October 24, 2012Start with an armored car that has crashed on a remote rural road. Add in a few people who happen by, discover the driver of the armored car dead and help themselves to just a little of the $7 million waiting for anyone to share. Then mix in the source of the money -- a Russian mobster who isn't very happy that someone has taken even a small part of his money. Add in the FBI that uses satellite technology to find out who took the money and a snitch inside the FBI who passes on information that ends up with the Russian, a few twists and turns here and there and you've got a good read.

In Impunity, Elberg mixes a unique scenario with interesting characters to create an entertaining suspense novel. The characters' motives are realistic, and the situations in which they find themselves are easy to sympathize with. The author does a good job using multiple dialects to help paint each personality, lending to their believability and helping to emphasize the diversity of the individuals. I enjoyed this book, which will likely appeal to readers who like a good suspense story.
