Dirty Money
Dirty Money describes the origin of financial investigations of narcotics traffickers through four landmark prosecutions in Los Angeles. The House that Heroin Built tells of how a major heroin dealer's purchases of luxury items, including a San Marino mansion and several expensive cars, were used to prove he was the leader of a national organization and obtain a life without parole sentence. The Hunt for the Architect details how a small bank's reports of currency deposits helped identify and bring to justice an organization which derived more than $32,000,000 from heroin and cocaine. A Very, Very Honest Lawyer concerns the detection and investigation of a sophisticated money laundering serv...
The Entrepreneur
They couldn’t be more different. Brandi Adams is successful. Angus Boudreaux exists. She’s from the Midwest. He’s Cajun. She has dreams. He has a dog. She’s prim and proper. He drinks beer from a can. She has brains. He has courage. She comes from a home with two successful, loving parents. He never knew his dad and was raised by his grandmother. She has a college degree. He cheated to finish high school. She’s never had as much as a parking ticket. He’s done time for stealing cars. She subscribes to the Wall Street Journal. He collects porn magazines. She can interpret a prospectus. He can decipher a racing form. Her portfolio includes stocks, bonds, and other investments. His entire net worth is in his back pocket. She understands balance sheets and other financial statements. He knows three of a kind beats two pair. She is certain of her future. His past is quite forgettable. But an unexplained spark ignites a romance between these two dissimilar and seemingly incompatible people. What follows is a ride neither expected, as each tries to capture the desires of their heart.
The Grandma Mafia
Suitcases of money . . . boxes of cocaine . . . undercover agents . . . wiretaps . . . government leaks . . . crooked agents . . . and grandmas? For most of their lives the four middle-aged women had never violated the law. But cocaine and its false promise of excitement and riches drew them in, one by one, into a multi-million-dollar money laundering and cocaine trafficking scheme. Cocaine also ensnared a nationally known jeans designer and sent him plummeting on a path toward personal destruction. Perhaps most disturbing of all, cocaine's profits lured agents from two different federal agencies--men sworn to investigate and bring cocaine traffickers to justice--to violate their oaths and engage in significant criminal acts. This is the true but incredible story of the Grandma Mafia.

From Radio to the Big Screen
There was a time when "American popular entertainment" referred only to radio and motion pictures. With the coming of talking pictures, Hollywood cashed in on the success of big-time network radio by bringing several of the public's favorite broadcast personalities and programs to the screen. The results, though occasionally successful, often proved conclusively that some things are better heard than seen. Concentrating primarily on radio's Golden Age (1926-1962), this lively history discusses the cinematic efforts of airwave stars Rudy Vallee, Amos 'n' Andy, Fred Allen, Joe Penner, Fibber McGee & Molly, Edgar Bergen, Lum & Abner, and many more. Also analyzed are the movie versions of such radio series as The Shadow, Dr. Christian and The Life of Riley. In addition, two recent films starring contemporary radio headliners Howard Stern and Garrison Keillor are given their due.
