Book excerpt: What happens when you add one part James Bond, one part David Copperfield, and stir in the expertise of a mission impossible force? You get Jonathan Barrow, master illusionist and his team who are part of an organization known as M.A.G.I.C. or Military Assisted Global Intelligence Command. World famous master magician Jonathan Barrow is not just an illusionist. His code name is Wizard. Jonathan’s team is made up of a former CIA operative, a magician apprentice, a former Navy Seal, a member of MI-6 on loan from the United Kingdom, a Hollywood make-up artist, and a stunt specialist from the film industry. Dirty Secrets begins with the theft of Plutonium 238, from light houses decommissioned by the Russian government as part of a NATO agreement. A group called Rising Sun has acquired the radioactive material with the intent of detonating three dirty bombs in three highly populated locations, all on the same day at the same time. The terrorist group has chosen three high profile targets making it a logistical nightmare for Jonathan and his team. Using movie magic, illusion, misdirection, and a cunning crew they attempt to avert a national catastrophe along the eastern seaboard of the United States. The exciting conclusion ends with Jonathan fighting the lead terrorist seconds before detonation and the rest of the team dealing with other threats using skills any spy agency would love to have. Soon to be declassified will be the next mission for the M.A.G.I.C team.

Download or read book Billion Dollar Whale written by Bradley Hope and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named a Best Book of 2018 by the Financial Times and Fortune, this "thrilling" (Bill Gates) New York Times bestseller exposes how a "modern Gatsby" swindled over $5 billion with the aid of Goldman Sachs in "the heist of the century" (Axios). Now a #1 international bestseller, Billion Dollar Whale is "an epic tale of white-collar crime on a global scale" (Publishers Weekly), revealing how a young social climber from Malaysia pulled off one of the biggest heists in history. In 2009, a chubby, mild-mannered graduate of the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business named Jho Low set in motion a fraud of unprecedented gall and magnitude--one that would come to symbolize the next great threat to the global financial system. Over a decade, Low, with the aid of Goldman Sachs and others, siphoned billions of dollars from an investment fund--right under the nose of global financial industry watchdogs. Low used the money to finance elections, purchase luxury real estate, throw champagne-drenched parties, and even to finance Hollywood films like The Wolf of Wall Street. By early 2019, with his yacht and private jet reportedly seized by authorities and facing criminal charges in Malaysia and in the United States, Low had become an international fugitive, even as the U.S. Department of Justice continued its investigation. Billion Dollar Whale has joined the ranks of Liar's Poker, Den of Thieves, and Bad Blood as a classic harrowing parable of hubris and greed in the financial world.
