The Paradise Conspiracy 2: The Ones Who Got Away

Before the Panama Papers, they did this...

From the author of two #1 bestsellers - The Paradise Conspiracy and Lawyers, Guns & Money - comes the final piece of the jigsaw...

In the eighties and nineties, a small coterie of business tycoons stumbled on an incredible get-rich-quick scheme, using dodgy tax havens, fake documents and political connections that reached all the way to the top.

Why did politicians interfere in criminal investigations? Who authorised covert surveillance of a rising political star threatening to expose corruption? Why did a director of state-owned TV New Zealand resign in a scandal? Were bribes paid to prevent an inquiry into the billion dollar BNZ collapse? Is there evidence that the Winebox Royal Commission of Inquiry's anti-corruption investigation became 'compromised'?
