Former professional football player Fernando Ricksen is diagnosed with ALS. The Final Struggle chronicles Ricksen's battle with this terrible muscle disease. On the day his previous book Fighting Spirit was released, Fernando was told that he suffers from ALS and has only four months to live. Fernando - who was known for his troubled past with drugs, alcohol and women - did not give in right away. Even though he had no future prospects, Fernando lived on without giving up. Author Vincent de Vries experienced Fernando's illness and deterioration at close quarters and wrote a personal, moving and penetrating portrait of Fernando in The Final Battle.
In Scams, the dark world of money wolves in tailored suits is exposed. The countries of Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Panama are home to many scams and have many avenues of tax fraud. These are also called the tax havens of the world. Also, the Cayman Islands and the Netherlands Antilles are among the roadkill paradises. In this intriguing book, fraudsters provide compelling evidence that there are many clever ways to scam us all. For example, the Vatican's bank was a money laundering professional. In court the Vatican didn't get it so the Italian mafia took the law into their own hands. This book shows what the role of the government is to do in this kind of gigantic fraudulent business.
