Banking on Torture is the second book in the Nina Steel adventure series. Although it is shorter than the first book, Reunion it still as exciting if not more so. Once again Nina Steel is on the trial of bank-robbing terrorists who plan to topple the world banking system. The story is well written with no holes in the plot and the characters are even more wonderful than in the first book. Mr. Hansen has added more comic relief making the book a pleasure to read.
