In 1996 werd Sue Knight dood aangetroffen in haar huis in Athens, Texas. In haar testament benoemde ze een losse kennis als executeur van haar nalatenschap, maar nadat deze persoon een vermeend telefoontje van de CIA en een dreigende waarschuwing van de lokale sheriff ontving, stopte hij met vragen stellen. Meer dan 25 jaar later achtervolgt de herinnering aan Sue de stad Athens en de mensen die haar kenden. Wie was Sue eigenlijk? Waarom vestigde deze Engelse expat zich in een klein stadje in Texas? En zou ze nog in leven kunnen zijn?
In 1996, Sue Knight was found dead in her Athens, TX, home. Her will named a loose acquaintance as the executor of her estate, but after an alleged phone call from the CIA and a dire warning from the local sheriff, the executor stopped asking questions. More than 25 years later, Sue’s memory haunts the town of Athens and the people who knew her. Who was Sue, really? Why did this English expat settle in small-town Texas? And could she still be alive?

A charming young Czech promises staggering returns. An entire country’s oil industry is up for grabs. America’s top investors want in. Sounds too good to be true? Damn right it is.
This is a story of private jets, $20,000 dinners, and suitcases stuffed with cash. It’s also a tale about the collapse of communism, the free-for-all that followed, and the birth of the oligarchs. And it’s a story of plain-old human greed…of just how far the rich may go to get even richer. Viktor Kožený smooth-talked his super-wealthy Aspen neighbors and a Wall Street titan into investing huge sums of cash to snap up Azerbaijan’s state-owned oil company. Host Joe Nocera and investigative journalist Peter Elkind follow the trail, beginning in the Bahamas, where the charismatic financial genius has been lying low.
