Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Behind the fortune was a fraud that changed Wall Street forever. Jordan Belfort's name has become synonymous with extraordinary wealth, relentless ambition, and one of the most notorious financial scandals in modern history. But beyond the headlines, Hollywood portrayal, and public persona lies a far more complex story-one of deception, unchecked greed, regulatory failures, and the devastating human cost of white-collar crime. Beyond the Wolf of Wall Street takes readers beyond the legend to examine the rise and fall of Belfort and Stratton Oakmont through a carefully researched, balanced, and accessible narrative. Rather than sensationalizing events, this book explores how the fraud operated, why it succeeded for so long, how investigators uncovered the scheme, and what its legacy means for investors and financial markets today. Inside this book, you'll discover: - Jordan Belfort's early life and path into the securities industry- The creation and rapid growth of Stratton Oakmont- How penny-stock manipulation and pump-and-dump schemes worked- The culture of ambition, excess, and risk that fueled the firm's success- The SEC and FBI investigations that led to its collapse- The financial and personal impact on victims- Belfort's guilty plea, prison sentence, and life after incarceration- The differences between documented history, popular portrayals, and the enduring public narrative>Written in a clear and engaging style, this book provides historical context, financial insight, and thoughtful analysis for readers who want more than a retelling of familiar events. Whether you are interested in true crime, business history, financial markets, or the real story behind one of Wall Street's most infamous scandals, this book offers a deeper understanding of the people, decisions, and consequences that shaped an era. If you're looking for an informative, well-researched account that goes beyond the myth and explores the lasting lessons of one of history's most infamous financial frauds, Beyond the Wolf of Wall Street is an essential addition to your library.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - On a summer morning in 1992, a brutal murder on Wimbledon Common shocked Britain and sparked one of the most controversial criminal investigations in modern British history. The killing of Rachel Nickell became more than a tragic crime-it became a case that exposed the dangers of investigative tunnel vision, the influence of public pressure, and the consequences of pursuing a suspect before securing the evidence needed to prove guilt. In The Rachel Nickell Case, author Nathan E. Mercer takes readers beyond the headlines to examine the crime, the investigation, and the long search for justice. Through a careful exploration of publicly documented events, this book traces the path from the initial inquiry and the controversial focus on Colin Stagg to the forensic breakthroughs that ultimately transformed the case. This compelling nonfiction account explores: - The life of Rachel Nickell and the events that placed her case at the center of national attention- The murder that shocked Britain and the immediate response that followed- The investigative strategies, pressures, and decisions that shaped the inquiry- The role of criminal profiling and its influence on the direction of the case- The controversial honeytrap operation and the questions it raised- The emergence of new forensic technologies and the power of DNA evidence- The identification of Robert Napper and the eventual resolution of the case>More than a true-crime narrative, The Rachel Nickell Case is an examination of how justice can be delayed, how investigations can be shaped by assumptions, and how advances in forensic science can alter the course of history. Thoughtful, balanced, and meticulously researched, this book offers readers an in-depth look at a case that continues to influence discussions of crime, justice, accountability, and public memory decades after it first captured the nation's attention. For readers interested in true crime, criminal investigations, forensic science, and British legal history, this is a compelling exploration of one of the most significant murder inquiries of the modern era.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. THE FLORES MASSACRE On the last night of their lives, the Bagnato family watched a football match together. Their oldest son, 16-year-old Matias, played a Roxette record in his room and sneaked a cigarette. His mother smelled the smoke, and his parents laughed. It was the last time he saw them. At 3:30 in the morning on February 17, 1994, a man entered their home in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Flores carrying two containers of fuel. He was no stranger. He was a relative by marriage and a former business partner who claimed the family owed him 180,000 dollars. For weeks he had called the house with threats to burn it down. The boys called him the Monster. Their father reported him to the police again and again. By morning, five people were dead: Jose and Alicia Bagnato, their sons Fernando and Alejandro, and Nicolas Borda, an 11-year-old friend who stayed over only because of a last-minute change of plans. Matias was the only one who got out. The killer was caught within days and sentenced to life. Then he was transferred to a prison in Spain, where a court recorded the year of the crime as 1990 instead of 1994. That single wrong number set him free. He came back to Argentina, and the threats began again. What followed was a manhunt across 47 addresses that ended with the killer hiding in a false ceiling. After that came years of court battles, as Matias fought every request for release while living under round-the-clock police protection. Only when the killer died behind bars in 2023 could Matias finally reveal the secret he had kept hidden out of fear. Built entirely on court records, official statements, and published reporting, with no invented scenes or dialogue, this book is a powerful true account of a crime, a broken system, and a survivor who never stopped fighting for the five people he lost.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. On May 2, 1985, fishermen on the Mississippi River found the body of a woman weighted down with steel chains. She was Dorothy Thompson, 61, owner of the Azalea Original Pet Cemetery in Toca, Louisiana, a quiet stretch of land where families buried the animals they loved. Days away from a court date in her fight to keep that land, she vanished. She never reached the hearing. For 27 years, the case went nowhere. Detectives had a prime suspect and a clear motive, but no physical evidence, a crime scene with few clues and no witness willing to speak. Hurricane Katrina destroyed files. Rumors grew, and neighbors whispered about ghosts and haunted ground. Then a cold case review, a mysterious phone call and an alleged threat in a jail changed everything. In 2012, a grand jury indicted the man long suspected. In 2014, he pleaded guilty to manslaughter. Drawing on court records, law enforcement statements and news reporting, this independent account tells the full story, including: Who Dorothy Thompson was and why she fought for her mother's cemeteryThe disappearance, the discovery in the river and the findings on the cause of deathWhy a prime suspect could not be convicted for decadesHow detectives reopened the file and how a witness finally broke the silenceThe family history behind the cemetery, as documented in court recordsThe ghost stories and local legends, and how to separate them from the evidence Carefully sourced, respectful and easy to follow, this is the story of a woman who stood up for what was hers, a community that waited, and the 29-year road to an answer This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. On a cold January morning in 2007, a house in rural Michigan went up in flames. Todd Stermer escaped the burning home alive, badly injured-only to be struck by the family van moments later. What first appeared to be a terrible chain of accidents soon became something far more complicated. As investigators examined the fire, the evidence began pointing in different directions. Gasoline. The burned house. Todd's injuries. The van. Conflicting accounts of what happened that morning. And a marriage whose private struggles would become central to the prosecution's case. Linda Stermer was eventually accused of killing her husband and deliberately setting the fire. She maintained that Todd's death was a tragic accident and continued to deny that she had murdered him. The case would lead to a conviction, a life-without-parole sentence, an appeal, the overturning of that conviction, and Linda's release from prison. Years later, the case returned to court for a second trial-bringing the old evidence, new experts, conflicting interpretations, and a deeply divided family back into the spotlight. The Todd Stermer Case follows the story from the life Todd built before his death through the investigation, the evidence, the courtroom battles, and the second verdict. But beneath the legal record lies a more difficult question: What really happened inside the Stermer home that January morning? Drawing on the documented case, court proceedings, testimony, and publicly available records, this book examines what is known, what was disputed, and the questions that continued to follow the case long after the first verdict.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Five women. Five separate crimes. One connection. Between 1997 and 2010, five young women connected to the same restaurant brand were killed across three states and more than two thousand miles apart. They did not know one another. The men responsible were not part of a single conspiracy, and there was no serial killer connecting the cases. What connected them was where they worked-and what happened after their shifts ended. DEADLY ATTENTION follows the lives and deaths of Tanya Hillerud, Tina Foster, Carrie Ann Williams, Alissa Blanton, and Prisma Contreras, reconstructing the events that led to five very different murders and the investigations that followed. For one woman, a seemingly ordinary encounter at work preceded a deadly confrontation at home. For another, a promise of a modeling opportunity became a trap. One woman finished a late shift and never made it home, leaving behind a case that remains unresolved. Another endured years of unwanted attention before the danger became fatal. And in Las Vegas, a disappearance from an employee parking lot ultimately became part of a much larger investigation. But these are not simply stories about how five women died. They are stories about who they were before the headlines: their ambitions, relationships, families, jobs, and plans for the futures they expected to have. The book follows the investigations from the first discoveries through witness accounts, physical evidence, surveillance, suspect statements, arrests, trials, guilty pleas, convictions, and acquittals. It examines how seemingly ordinary pieces of information-a receipt, a photograph, a witness statement, a vehicle, a preserved email-could become crucial to an investigation. It also confronts what the evidence cannot answer. What was proven in court? What remained disputed? Which cases ended with convictions, and which did not? Why did some investigations move forward while another remained open for decades? And what happens to the families when the courtroom doors close but the loss remains? DEADLY ATTENTION is an independently researched true-crime account of five lives, five investigations, and the unanswered questions that remain after the headlines fade. Their stories began with ordinary lives. They ended with investigations. And the search for answers continues. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
