I found them fascinating. The book is as good as any mystery thriller. I would recommend this to anyone who loves this sort of real life thriller. Drugs, murder getting pills online... kind of sounds like the issues of todays world does it not?

Thanks to Random House via NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
It’s hard to believe this is not fiction. The story of Paul LeRoux is just so incredible. One can only wonder what may have happened had he put his considerable talents and smarts to something legitimate. Evan Ratliff spent four years researching this book and it certainly shows in the details he gives us. And I wasn’t bogged down by these details - I found them fascinating. The book is as good as any mystery thriller. I would recommend this to anyone who loves this sort of real life thriller.

This book has a great title and would appear to be a thrilling read. However, the author gets bogged down in unnecessary detail and many readers will likely find themselves bored and unwilling to read the book to the finish. I would only recommend this book to readers who are interested in the information and don't mind if the prose is rather dull.

Superb real life drama brought vividly to the page by Ratliff! Can’t wait to see the movie adaptation.

An amazing story! Reads like a Vince Flynn or James Bond type thriller. Who would ever have believed that there was actually a "super-villain", who manipulated events world-wide, all the while staying hidden behind the scenes? I couldn't put it down!
