520 $aA memorable collection--expanded, revised and updated--from investigative journalist and columnist Rick Anderson. He solves the mystery of the Floating Feet, where suspected crime is measured by the nautical foot (the 15 extremities that washed up on Seattle and Vancouver beaches in recent years). But dozens more are on their way from Japan, an expert warns. And he details for the first time The Getaway of supposedly indigent millionaires who show us their Gucci heels fleeing to France in a rented plane, landing a step ahead of U.S. Marshals--and explains how the rich are different from us especially in bankruptcy court. The Assassins, meanwhile, relates the full story and likely solution to the 1969 cold case homicide of civil rights hero Edwin Pratt, whose Medgar Evers-like murder the Nixon justice department tried to blame on Pratt's fellow black citizens, documents show. Driving Bin Laden is the narrative tale, from Afghan arrest to U.S. release, of the terrorist's chauffeur who was imprisoned at Gitmo only to find salvation at the hands of a group of military and corporate lawyers working for free. Joe Millionaire gives the reader an inside peek at the life of a humble public servant who undertook a remarkable heist of City Hall funds. He quietly made off with a million dollars and got caught only after a greedy attempt to dupe the city into paying his monthly utility bill as well. And The Lavender Spies shows us how, long before Edward Snowden, there were Bill and Bernie, allegedly homosexual NSA codebreakers who defected to Moscow and, like Snowden, wound up yearning to come home. Based on exclusive, formerly secret documents.
