What The Reviewers Say

Alexandra Jacobs,
The New York Times
Behar approaches this towering mountain of material with rigor, but also a certain informality. He delights in its wackier crags.
Manuel Roig-Franzia,
The Washington Post
It is a deeply reported and occasionally overwhelmingly detailed examination of Madoff’s motives and methods.
Bethany McLean,
Air Mail
At this late date, does anyone care? To Behar’s great credit, given how endlessly and skillfully Madoff has been chronicled, he does pull off some feats of reporting and thinking that make the book a valuable addition to the Madoff pantheon.
Val Edwards,
Booklist
A fast-paced and engaging true-crime story.
