Zuletzt gelesen: Robert Harris' "The Fear Index" (2012)

"It’s an energetically researched tale based on one of the back stories to the crash of 2008: bankers’ hiring of physicists to devise hugely complex trading programs that few really understand, and those new strategies running dangerously amok.

There are variations, but the main thrust of it concerns an unholy agreement between one of the Mexican drug cartels and the Taliban. (...) Specifically, the Taliban would supply opium to the cartel, while the cartel would provide the Taliban with the unprecedented opportunity to bring its unholy jihad to the heart of the United States."
