From Publishers Weekly
Readers who buy Podrug's latest collaboration with the Robbins estate (following The Betrayers) will expect a Robbins-style erotic thriller. What they will get is dull, predictable and surprisingly tame. Madison Dupre, 34 and single, is out to secure her place in the rarefied world of antiquities by acquiring a $50-million Babylonian death mask for her employer, the Piedmont Museum of Mesopotamian Art. The mask's legendary curse soon kicks in: at its unveiling, an uninvited Iraqi insists that it was among the treasures taken by looters from Baghdad's National Museum of Antiquities following Saddam's downfall. With her job, reputation and even freedom (the FBI thinks she's in on the fraud) on the line, Madison sets out to unmask the looters, which turns out to be a very unsafe undertaking indeed. The incestuous, fiercely competitive antiquities world makes for an intriguing setup, but Podrug's execution is clunky. The action is improbable, the dialogue hackneyed, the sex (a Robbins hallmark) pedestrian and scarce. Status-obsessed Madison is hardly likable. Robbins died in 1997; it may be time to let him rest. (Sept.)

Movie Franchise!
By Ja'Mi
Phenomenal book centering around Madison Dupre, an ambitious art curator, who is climbing her way to the top of the unscrupulous world of art & antiquities. Just as Madison is reaching the pinnacle of her career, she buys what turns out to be a looted piece of valuable Mesopotamian art - making her purchase a crime and ruining her reputation. Her only way out is to "unmask" whoever has set her up. When those around her start dying, the real action begins...as she runs for her life, racing to find the perpetrators before they find her.
Rarely do we see such a strong, yet vulnerable anti-hero like Madison Dupre. When we do, it makes you wonder why we don't see more characters like Madison as the basis for great TV series or movie franchise. In this case, someone should not miss the opportunity!!

The Looters is both exciting and educational. The buildup of compressed tension in the first half of the book was extraordinary, while the unraveling of the plot was skillful, interesting and well thought out. I found the insight into archeological colleactibles interesting compensation for an educational hiatus. Don't believe those claiming this books is replete with sex and violence. True, there is some violence, but it is the validated threat of violence which helps produce tension. I must have missed the steamy sex scenes, while recalling more reference to sex than participation, and vocalizing a hurrah! for the author's prescient awareness that our choice of sexual partners is neither rational nor predicatable. One of the few books I can recommend witout reservation. Enjoy!
