Garry Clement

Editorial: Optimum Publishing International

Sinopsis

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police is no longer fit for purpose.
		 
Reflecting on his career in the RCMP from 1973 to 2003, Garry Clement recounts his childhood in rural Ontario; his RCMP training in Regina; his drug-bust days based in British Columbia, Montreal, and Toronto; his work battling the Chinese Communist Party’s infiltration of Canada; his role in the Parliament Hill bus hijacking; his involvement in the post–9/11 Maher Arar inquiry; his impact on the RCMP’s Proceeds of Crime program and on anti–money laundering in Canada and abroad; and his reasons for leaving the RCMP. Under Cover  provides a gripping and vulnerable inside look into the corruption of politics and policing in Canada.
		 
In light of the mounting complexities of transnational organized crime, terrorism, cybercrime, and financial crime, Clement calls for a complete revamping of the culture of federal policing. We need a fundamental structural reformation of the RCMP. Garry Clement offers direct recommendations for how to approach such a task.

Robert Freegard - The World's...

Waleed Saleh

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
In the annals of criminal history, few cases are as disturbing as that of Robert Hendy-Freegard—a master manipulator who earned the nickname "The Puppet Master" for his ability to control his victims' every move. This gripping true crime investigation by Walid Saleh exposes the shocking story of Britain's most dangerous con artist, whose sophisticated psychological warfare destroyed families and shattered lives across two decades.
Unlike ordinary criminals who rely on physical force or simple fraud, Freegard wielded something far more insidious: the power to completely rewire his victims' reality. Posing as an MI5 agent, he convinced university students they were being hunted by Irish terrorists, forcing them to abandon their families, friends, and futures. For ten years, his victims lived in constant fear of phantom enemies while he systematically drained their families of over one million pounds.
From the agricultural colleges of rural England to the corridors of Scotland Yard, from broken families in London to FBI operations across the Atlantic, this is more than just a crime story—it's a terrifying exploration of human vulnerability and the darkest capabilities of the criminal mind.
This meticulously researched account serves as both a riveting true crime narrative and a crucial warning about the sophisticated predators who walk among us. It's a story that will make you question everything you think you know about trust, manipulation, and the very nature of evil itself.

The Trillion Dollar Conman - The...

Ben Robinson

Based on the hit BBC 5Live podcast series, The Trillion Dollar Conman is an audacious tale of an international fraud that is stranger than fiction.

In 2009, Notts County FC were on the brink of bankruptcy when they were taken over by a mysterious company supposedly backed by the Bahraini royal family. The club was promised millions of pounds worth of investment and a list of marquee players, including Sol Campbell and Kasper Schmeichel were signed, in a recruitment drive led by former England manager Sven-Göran Eriksson, who was appointed to take the club all the way to the Premier League.

However, within weeks, as the bills began to pile up, the dream came tumbling down as it transpired that the club, the players and the fans had been tricked by a convicted fraudster called Russell King.

The world's oldest professional football club found itself at the centre of one of the most outlandish frauds in sporting and world history, which spanned the globe from Nottingham to North Korea, involving fake sheikhs, fast cars, broken promises and a trail of destruction.
