The Paradise Conspiracy 2

The Ones Who Got Away

By: Ian Wishart

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

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'? REVIEWS: “Wishart is, for me, without peer in this country as an investigative journalist and in this book he combines painstaking research with a pacy narrative that further cements his reputation...It seems like a fictional Hollywood thriller but it all happened – here.” – City Voice “Ian Wishart’s latest book on the Winebox saga reminds one of...John Grisham.” – Christchurch Press “The Paradise Conspiracy is required reading…pacy…penetrating scrutiny” – New Zealand Herald “Sensational stuff and hard to fault. Wishart is a professional…the most controversial New Zealand book that I can remember” – The Republican “The closest thing to a John Grisham novel, but it is the real thing” – Waikato Times
