  An epic true story of ambition, greed and hubris that nearly brought down the British government.'The British version of Bad Blood . . . [but] better' – The Sunday Times'Terrific' – The Observer, Book of the WeekIn March 2021, an obscure financial technology company called Greensill Capital collapsed, going into administration. As it unravelled, a multibillion-dollar scandal emerged that would shake the very foundations of the British political system, drawing in swiss bankers, global CEOs, and world leaders, including former British Prime Minister, David Cameron. At the centre was an Australian financier named Lex Greensill.Pyramid of Lies charts the meteoric rise and spectacular downfall of Greensill and his company. He had a simple idea – democratising supply chain finance – and disrupted a trillion dollar industry in the process. But a staid business model concealed dubious practices as Greensill made increasingly risky loans to fraudulent companies using other people’s money.Financial journalist Duncan Mavin, who has reported on the scandal for over three years, tells the incredible story of how a former sugar-cane farmer would go on to put tens of thousands of jobs at risk and gain unfettered access to the inner workings of the British government. With a globe-circling narrative full of scandal and intrigue, Pyramid of Lies reveals how the grubby world of shadow banking really operates.‘Forensic and riveting’ – The New Statesman‘Meticulously researched’ – The Daily Telegraph

  In 1931, San Diego's idyllic image as a beach town with peaceful suburbs concealed a harrowing reality: a series of unsolved crimes targeting women, fueling fear and vulnerability. Monsters on the Loose tells the tragic and true stories of three women murdered early that year: Virginia Brooks, Louise Teuber, and Hazel Bradshaw. 
   
   
   
  Local law enforcement, out-of-town criminologists, and investigators from what would become the FBI pursued hundreds of leads. Yet, the killer(s) were never identified and brought to justice. 
   
   
   
  In Monsters on the Loose, award-winning author and historian Richard L. Carrico pieces fragments of evidence together for three cold cases, shedding light on a dark chapter in San Diego's history. 
   
   
   
  More than ninety years after the murders, Carrico emerges as an advocate for the victims, meticulously reconstructing their stories. Immersed in dusty files, long-forgotten oral histories, and investigation records, his primary objective remains unwavering: to seek justice for the three young women. With no witnesses to the crimes, the significance of circumstantial evidence and speculation became paramount. 
   
   
   
  And he may have even solved one of the murders. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  All the varieties of power – star, political, sexual, criminal and emotional – are on show in this definitive, untold story of Frank Sinatra and the Mafia. 
  Drawing on an enormous archive of previously unseen records held by international law agencies, the FBI, the CIA and big-city police departments, Rothmiller and Thompson reveal Sinatra’s pact with the Mob in shocking detail. 
  With additional evidence from decades of investigations and testimony, they expose Sinatra’s lifelong association with the Mafia, which he always denied, and its deadly collateral damage. 
  This revelatory showstopper is a wild dance made coherent by intelligent choreography. Sinatra may not have been an actual made man, but the Mafia certainly made him.

  The Shocking Truth about...

  Zoey Fraisers

  The criminal justice system is the cornerstone of maintaining order and enforcing laws in any society. It functions as the mechanism through which society addresses crime, ensures accountability, and administers justice. At its core, the system is composed of three key components: law enforcement, the judiciary, and corrections. Each of these plays an essential role in maintaining balance, protecting the rights of individuals, and upholding the rule of law. 
  Law enforcement is the first point of contact for individuals involved in criminal activity. Police officers, detectives, and other law enforcement agencies are tasked with investigating crimes, making arrests, and ensuring public safety. They have the authority to detain individuals suspected of committing crimes and gather evidence to support prosecution. The relationship between law enforcement and the community is pivotal in ensuring a fair and just system. However, this power can be easily abused, leading to tensions, allegations of misconduct, and issues such as racial profiling. 
  Once a crime is detected and an arrest is made, the case moves into the court system, where judges, prosecutors, and defense attorneys interact. The role of the judiciary is to oversee trials, ensure fair procedures, and make determinations of guilt or innocence. The prosecutor represents the state’s interest, aiming to secure a conviction based on evidence, while the defense attorney works to protect the rights of the accused, challenging the evidence and the actions of the prosecution. A jury may be involved in determining the outcome, offering a layer of public scrutiny over the decisions made.
