Sinopsis

"Fashion's Biggest Frauds" exposes the deceptive practices plaguing the high fashion industry, revealing how counterfeit scandals, fake designers, and fraudulent marketing schemes undermine both consumers and established brands. The book dives into the business of deception, highlighting that the demand for exclusivity, coupled with a lack of industry transparency, fuels a system where fraud thrives. For example, the book explores how counterfeit goods, often indistinguishable from authentic items, flood the market, impacting luxury brands and eroding consumer trust.

 
The book begins by defining the key players and various forms of fashion fraud. It then dissects the manufacturing and distribution networks behind counterfeit goods, explores the rise of "fake designers" capitalizing on stolen ideas, and analyzes fraudulent marketing tactics used to manipulate consumer perceptions.

 
By tracing the historical evolution of counterfeiting and examining legal and ethical frameworks, "Fashion's Biggest Frauds" provides a comprehensive understanding of these issues. It also offers potential solutions, including technological innovations and stricter regulations, making it a valuable resource for fashion enthusiasts, business students, and legal professionals alike.

Death on Ireland's Eye - The...

Dean Ruxton

A tragic death, a murder trial and a 170-year-old mystery – but what really happened?
Shortly after Maria Kirwan died in a lonely inlet on Ireland's Eye, it was decided that she had drowned accidentally during a day spent with her husband on the picturesque island. This inquest verdict appeared to conclude the melancholy events that consumed the fishing village of Howth, Co Dublin, in September 1852.
But not long afterwards, suspicion fell upon Maria's husband, William Burke Kirwan, as whispers of unspeakable cruelty, an evil character and a secret life rattled through the streets of Dublin. Investigations led to William's arrest and trial for murder.
The story swelled into one of the most bitterly divisive chapters in the dark annals of Irish criminal history. Yet questions remain: Does the evidence stand up? What role did the heavy hand of Victorian moral outrage play? Was William really guilty of murder, or did the ever-present 'moral facts' fill in gaps where hard proof was absent?
Now, this compelling modern analysis revisits the key evidence, asking sober questions about the facts, half-facts and fantasies buried within the yellowed pages of the Ireland's Eye case files.

Going Under - Kidnapping Murder...

John Madinger

A former law enforcement agent details his adventures during his career working undercover in this memoir. 
 
“I just want to make sure I’ve got this right. You hanged all three of them? . . .”  
 
That’s how it began, a case where the cops are crooks and the crooks are cops, a kidnapping where the victim is the bad guy, and the good guys must cross some lines to get him back. Welcome to the upside down and backward world of the undercover agent, where nothing is as it seems, and people—including the undercover—may not be what they appear. Going Under: Kidnapping, Murder, and A Life Undercover by former undercover agent John Madinger takes you into that world, and closer to the truth of the undercover experience than any other law enforcement memoir has ever gone. 
 
“What is it like to work undercover?” You’re a sheepdog in wolf’s clothing, running with the pack, and Madinger ran with the wolves for almost two decades. Now he shares his story to give you a unique look at American crime and the “War on Drugs” from the perspective of both cops and criminals. You’ll go with the undercover cops to meetings with street-corner hustlers and rip-off artists and into the lives of America’s biggest rock stars, the world’s richest man, an Academy Award–winning actor, the marijuana traffickers conspiring to assassinate a federal judge, and the President of the United States. It’s an amazing ride, and there has never been another story like it.

Mobsters Madams & Murder in...

Susan M. Guy

This true crime history chronicles more than a century in the life of a small Midwestern city with an outsized reputation for violence and vice. 
 
 
  
Gambling, prostitution, and bootlegging have been going on in Steubenville for well over century. In its heyday, the city's Water Street red-light district drew men from hundreds of miles away, as well as underage runaways. The white slave trade was rampant, and along with all the vice crimes, murders became a weekly occurrence. This revealing history chronicles the rise of Steubenville's prodigious underworld from the 1890s to the modern day. 
 
 
  
By the turn of the century, Steubenville's law enforcement seemed to turn a blind eye, and cries of political corruption were heard in the state capital. This scenario replayed itself over and over again during the past century as mobsters and madams ruled and murders plagued the city and surrounding county at an alarming rate. Newspapers nationwide would come to nickname this mecca of murder "Little Chicago."

Virginia Louise Giuffre New...

Karen R Allen

Virginia Louise Giuffre New memoir: The Story of Nobody’s Girl is a gripping, compassionate, and unflinching portrait of one woman’s fight for justice against some of the most powerful forces in the world. Told with cinematic depth and emotional honesty, this book traces Virginia Giuffre’s journey from a troubled childhood in Florida to the unimaginable world of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell — a world of privilege, exploitation, and silence.
Across ten evocative chapters, it follows her transformation from a frightened teenager trapped in a system of abuse to a global advocate whose courage sparked an international reckoning on trafficking, consent, and power. Through her lawsuits against Epstein, Maxwell, and Prince Andrew, Virginia shattered centuries of impunity surrounding the wealthy and well-connected, forcing institutions to confront their own complicity.
This book covers:
● The hidden systems of power, privilege, and complicity that enable exploitation and silence survivors.
● Virginia Giuffre’s personal transformation from victim to global advocate for justice and reform.
● The broader fight for accountability, prevention, and empathy in the global battle against human trafficking and abuse.
More than a biography, The Story of Nobody’s Girl is a testament to resilience and moral clarity. It explores how trauma becomes purpose, how silence can be broken, and how one voice can ignite global change. This is not only Virginia’s story — it is a rallying cry for every survivor and every reader to believe in the power of truth.
