Lemondropkid Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 (edited) This is superb, from the same author as Empire of Pain that I'm sure was recommended on here. 12 desperate non fiction pieces, 3 in and it's fascinating. So far we covered hunting the Lockerbie bombers, Dutch gangsters and wine fraud. Edited May 16 by Lemondropkid 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galenkia Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Will be starting this shortly. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
