Owen Foster has never wanted for anything. Then his mother shows up at his elite New Orleans boarding school cradling a bombshell: his privileged life has been funded by stolen money. After using the family business, the single largest employer in his small Louisiana town, to embezzle millions and drain the employees' retirement accounts, Owen's father vanished without a trace, leaving Owen and his mother to deal with the fallout.Owen returns to Lake Cane to finish his senior year, where people he hardly remembers despise him for his father's crimes. It's bad enough dealing with muttered insults and glares, but when Owen and his mother receive increasingly frightening threats from someone out for revenge, he knows he must get to the bottom of what really happened at Louisiana Frac...and the cryptic note his father sent him at his boarding school days before disappearing. Owen's only refuge is the sprawling, isolated pecan orchard he works at after school, owned by a man named Gus who h

《黑天鵝效應》作者塔雷伯、《全球化矛盾》作者羅德里克、《影響力的終結》作者布萊德佛‧德隆等人，口碑強推！＊＊＊假鈔、假金礦，甚至假國家。藏在行李箱裡的幼童、五鬼搬運的沙拉油……，儘管詐取錢財的騙徒往往使用各種複雜的障眼法，但犯罪模式大多建立在很簡單的基礎上。現代經濟能夠蓬勃發展是建立在分工之上，而隨著商業體系越來越龐雜，現代社會也越來越傾向於「信任的分工」。然而儘管工作層層分化出去的過程中，催生了相應的控管制度，但由於我們不可能查核所有未親自經手的作業，因此制度中仍有許多可以「上下其手」之處。本書蒐羅了從古至今豐富的詐騙實例，帶大家了解商業騙局的幾大特色，同時解釋它們為何、以及會在什麼地方「露出馬腳」，乃至失控崩盤。你可以把本書當作一本「刺激的犯罪實錄」，享受當中令人驚詫、搖頭、甚至噴飯的詐騙情節，但若是看門道，它毋寧是一部「角度另類的商業史」。作者分章探討各詐騙案根柢的架構與性質，一邊介紹這些知名詐欺案的內情，一邊逐一檢視現代世界賴以建立的信任機制，以及騙徒如何濫用它們。因此這本書也是一本「詐欺犯罪防制教材」，如果你是管理甚至經營階層，作者闡述的各學派經營理論的重點與演化，絕對能幫助你身處甚至著手建構體制時，有更獨到而明晰的角度。▎注意：本書第一版書名為《商業大騙局：風險專家解密驚天詐欺案手法與犯罪溫床》，本版（二版）內容無增訂，請避免重複購買。▎這本書很適合以下讀者：‧對商業史與經濟史感興趣，或者業務與課業與此相關的人‧企業經營者或者管理人員，尤其業務與「防弊」有關的人‧投身股票市場，希望對於企業運作方式有更清楚了解的人‧對商場奇聞軼事好奇，希望兼顧閱讀趣味與學習新知的人‧任職公家機關，業務與「防弊」密切相關的人‧工作內容或課業與金融知識相關的人‧工作內容或課業與稅務知識相關的人‧工作內容或課業與保險知識相關的人‧工作內容或課業與會計知識相關的人（更詳盡介紹可參閱目錄引文）
