THE BIG LAW/221

“Well, you know, we Americans like to be entertained. We tend to get distracted. While we were having our play war in the Gulf and watching the O.J. Simpson trial some dramatic changes were going on—out there.” He cast a big hand at the snow-covered Wisconsin horizon and the larger world beyond.

Garrison chuckled. “We’re about to start living some real bad B movies. Remember the old James Bond novels—SPECTRE, the international criminal conspiracy from hell. All those suspicious foreign fuckers with accents. Well, they’re here. Goldfinger. Dr. No.”

Broker frowned.

“You think I’m shitting you? When the whole shebang started to collapse over there in the late 1980s, all these forward-looking apparatchiks in the KGB heisted billions of dollars’ worth of Communist party funds and pirated them out of Russia. Socked them away in Swiss banks. At the same time they emptied the Soviet prisons to raise an army of thugs. It’s the perfect nightmare—veteran intelligence agents running nets of hardened criminals.

“These guys have literally hijacked the Russian economy.

Now they’re branching out. So they’re here, where the easy money is. ’Cause we consume so much dope. And we’re so fat and stupid.”

They turned right on a county road, slowed for a small town named Claypool and followed the twisting two-lane past empty pastures, farmhouses, woodlots, and the stubble of snowy cornfields.

Garrison continued, “But it isn’t the dope, fraud, counter-feiting, or gasoline scams I worry about, uh-uh…”

They topped a rise. Through a gnarled screen of barren oaks, higher than the nearest silo, Broker saw a golden onion dome crowned by the distinctive silhouette of a Russian Orthodox cross.
