The Billion Dollar Spy

January, 1977 marks a turning point in this riveting espionage narrative. While the chief of the CIA's Moscow station fills his gas tank, a stranger drops a note into the car. In the years that followed, that stranger, Adolf Tolkachev, became one of the West's most valuable spies. At enormous risk, Tolkachev and his handlers conducted clandestine meetings across Moscow, using spy cameras, props, and private codes to elude the KGB in its own backyard—until a shocking betrayal put them all at risk. This true account of ingenuity, courage, and dangerous loyalties offers readers a firsthand look at the peril and precision of Cold War intelligence work.

Billion Dollar Whale

In 2015, rumours began circulating that billions of dollars had been stolen from a Malaysian investment fund. The mastermind of the heist was twenty-seven-year-old Jho Low, a serial fabulist from an upper-middle-class Malaysian family, who had carefully built his reputation as a member of the jet-setting elite by arranging and financing elaborate parties for Wall Street bankers, celebrities, and even royalty. With the aid of Goldman Sachs and others, Low stole billions of dollars, right under the nose of global financial industry watchdogs. This is the gripping true tale of audacious deception, lavish spectacle, and the systems that enabled the theft on a global scale.
