Family Secrets

About this book

Mustafa Younes recounts real criminal cases associated with FBI investigations, drawing on investigative reports and court records. The material ranges from Oklahoma's oil fields to Chicago courtrooms and cases involving deadly letters. Informants, forensic evidence, and concealed relationships shape accounts of greed, betrayal, and violence. Alongside the progress of investigations, the book considers how families and institutions can shelter wrongdoing, and how exposing a crime differs from securing justice when secrecy and competing interests stand in the way.
