Empire of Deception 'a highly readable, entertaining story' - Kirkus Reviews
“The granddaddy of all con men, Leo Koretz gives Jobb the opportunity to exhibit his impressive research and storytelling skills .... The author keeps readers on edge following the scam's collapse and the worldwide manhunt, as they wait to see if Koretz might just get away with it .... A highly readable, entertaining story offering a solid education for any one lacking scruples and wanting to make money. Surely Bernie Madoff studied Koretz’s methods.” — Kirkus Reviews
