  Disclaimer: This is NOT the Official Book; This is a Summary & it DOES NOT Accompany the Official Book! 
  In our summary book "Easy Money" by Ben McKenzie, known for his roles in The O.C. and Gotham, describes his entry into the world of cryptocurrency. Despite his economics degree, McKenzie initially found himself attracted to the allure of decentralization, potential societal improvement, and the fear of missing out on a lucrative opportunity. 
  However, as he scratched beneath the surface, he began to question the validity and sustainability of cryptocurrency, prompting the question, "Is this all a total scam?" In a bid to answer this question, McKenzie and Silverman embark on an enlightening investigation into the world of cryptocurrency. 
  "Easy Money" weaves together various narratives including stories of regular traders and victims, vibrant crypto evangelists, Hollywood’s most steadfast believers, whistleblowers against crypto, and government agents striving to find solutions at the brink of a major crash. 
  This summary book provides an up-close view of what the authors argue is a reckless convergence of irresponsibility and criminal fraud, potentially far more devastating than Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme or the 2008 housing bubble. This riveting narrative serves as a stark warning and an eye-opening account for anyone enticed by the promises of cryptocurrency.

  Philippa Langley took the world by storm when, against all the odds and a seven-year investigation, she discovered the grave of King Richard III (1452-1485) in a Leicester car park. A king finally laid to rest, the rediscovery and reburial of Richard III was watched by an estimated global audience of over 366 million. 
   
  Now, Langley reveals the findings of a remarkable new research initiative: ‘The Missing Princes Project’. In the summer of 1483, Edward V (aged 12) and his brother Richard Duke of York (aged 9), disappeared from the Tower of London. For over 500 years, history has judged that they were murdered on the orders of their uncle Richard III. 
   
  Following years of intensive research in UK, American and European archives, astonishing new archival discoveries have been uncovered that change what we know about the fate of the Princes in the Tower. Established by Langley in 2016, ‘The Missing Princes Project’ employed the methods of a cold-case police enquiry. Using investigative methodology, it aimed to place this most enduring of mysteries under a forensic microscope for the first time. 
   
  In The Princes in the Tower: Solving History's Greatest Cold Case, Langley records the painstaking investigative work and research of the project. By questioning received wisdom, she and her team shed light upon one of history's greatest miscarriages of justice, revealing a phenomenal untold story.

  Long Haul - Hunting the Highway...

  ""A true-crime masterpiece."" —Don Winslow 
  A Mystery Writers of America Edgar Award Finalist (Best Fact Crime) 
  From the FBI’s former assistant director, a shocking journey to the dark side of America’s highways, revealing the FBI Highway Serial Killings Initiative’s hunt for the long-haul truckers behind an astonishing 850 murders–and counting. 
  In 2004, the FBI was tipped off to a gruesome pattern of unsolved murders along American roadways. Today at least 850 homicides have been linked to a solitary breed of predators: long-haul truck drivers. They have been given names like the “Truck Stop Killer,” who rigged a traveling torture chamber in the rear of his truck and is suspected to have killed fifty women, and “The Interstate Strangler,” who once answered a phone call from his mother while killing one of his dozen victims. The crisis was such that the FBI opened a special unit, the Highway Serial Killings Initiative. In many cases, the victims—often at-risk women—are picked up at truck stops in one jurisdiction, sexually assaulted and murdered in another, and dumped along a highway in a third place. The transient nature of the offenders and multiple jurisdictions involved make these cases incredibly difficult to solve. 
  Based on his own on-the-ground research and drawing on his twenty-five-year career as an FBI special agent, Frank Figliuzzi investigates the most terrifying cases. He also rides in a big-rig with a long-haul trucker for thousands of miles, gaining an intimate understanding of the life and habits of drivers and their roadside culture. And he interviews the courageous trafficked victims of these crimes, and their inspiring efforts to now help others avoid similar fates. 
  Long Haul is a gripping exploration of a violent, disordered world hiding in plain sight, and the heroes racing to end the horror. It will forever unsettle how you travel on the road. 
  Shortlisted for four 2025 True Crime Awards

  Justice for Bonnie

  When police told Karen Foster that her eighteen-year-old daughter, Bonnie Craig, had died in a hiking accident, she knew the pieces of the investigation just didn't add up. Bonnie would have never ditched her classes at the University of Alaska to go hiking. And she didn't drive—so how would she have reached McHugh Creek, miles outside of Anchorage, in the first place? Armed with little more than her own conviction, Karen set out to find the truth behind her daughter's death. 
   
   
    
  After a long series of false leads and dead ends, it seemed the case would forever go unsolved. Then, after twelve years of public campaigning, private despair, and increasingly tense dealings with the detectives working the case, Karen received an e-mail that would change everything: the system, at long last, had produced a match for the unknown DNA in the case—from a man in a jail all the way across the country. 
   
   
    
  Here is the chilling tale of a mother's unflagging fight to track down the monster who stole her daughter's life—and the battle to ensure that he, and others like him, would no longer be able to evade justice.
