《Killing Floor》，Lee Child’s first novel, told us a story about reproducing backnotes. The most important clue is all the American paper money are the same size:ones, fives,twenties,fifties,hundreds(The $100 bill the same size as the $1dollar bill). The most important elements of printing money are paper and ink.The most difficult thing is the source of paper. The method of international distribution network arranged to obtain a large number of $1dollar anywhere they could,like banks,malls,chains,casinos, bleaching the ink off the river of singles, giving back blank paper to play with,bleaching into $100. They are genius, and crazy,bringing conuterfeit money which were printed in Venezuela into big cities, L.A-Chicago-Boston,ect.
Joe, Jack’s brother, worked in Treasury department, head of the dept, ran the Treasury’s anticounterfeiting operation in U.S, asked professors for help, who attacked the Nazi economy on the value of paper currency during the WWII.Unfortunately, Joe was murdered by the mayor(boss,aslo killed black boy in his childhood).
For the love of brother, Jack revenged his brother’s death, fought with the operation without fear, he set the warehouse on fire finally. Superheated air blew the roof,flames burst into the sky, night sky was full of burning banknotes. Gone with wind. Good trumphs over evil.
