Goshawk

After the Berlin Wall came down and the Soviet Union disintegrated, David Garvey, a Manhattan international lawyer, built a hugely profitable loan-sharking operation in Russia and nearby countries in Eastern Europe. David's fund quickly amassed large pools of collateral for high-interest loans - home and apartment mortgages as well as business and personal collateral. Seeing all of these financial instruments as leverage for getting around biting international economic sanctions, the Iraqis looked for ways to steal them from David's Königsberg Fund - first by co-opting his syndicate of bank lenders and then by attacking David and his family.
