The only other chapter they talked about was the one on prostitution, and now that you've given us a synopsis of the rest of the book I'll have to go look for a copy. I'll look for it on iTunes or Audible and let you know how the audiobook is if you're interested. Thanks for the review.

I currently have it queued up on my bedside table. Number two: I'm upset at this book for talking about life insurance and terrorism, not because they gave away a big secret but because they have messed up my searches for months. I dig deep for some of the life insurance news stories I find and when every third one is a review of this book, it makes it less fun. There are still other ways to find these folks, and an application for life insurance includes financial underwriting that would expose its own irregularities and show more ties. Chances are, suicide bombers still won't take out life insurance because of these reasons. Number one: I’m jealous you got you copy of the book free.
