Reviews
Selected Praise for Empire of Deception "Intoxicating and impressively researched, Jobb's immorality tale provides a sobering post-Madoff reminder that those who think everything is theirs for the taking are destined to be taken." - New York Times Book Review "Enthralling. . . High-stakes hijinks give the story a rollicking feel, but Jobb manages great poignancy, too. . . This lively and sweeping account seems to have already given a master con artist his due, putting him in the 'pantheon of pyramid-building swindlers.'"-- Washington Post "Jobb vividly brings the Chicago of the 1880s and '90s to life... [and] is a masterpiece of narrative set-up and vivid language."-- Chicago Tribune "Dean Jobb skillfully dusts off this century-old tale with a fast-paced narrative, a keen eye for detail and a cast of characters in which the free-for-all city of Chicago plays a prominent role . . . [A] masterfully told story."-- Minneapolis Star Tribune "Jobb expertly mixes newspaper research with witness interviews to weave a rollicking narrative. . . .The result is a memorable, fast-moving work of history."-- Atlanta Jewish Times "Intriguing. . . In our own wealth-besotted times, this well-researched story of Leo Koretz is a cautionary tale."-- Washington Independent Review of Books "Lively and captivating ... a story that seems to be as American as it can get, and it's told well." -- The Ch ri stian Science Monitor "For fans of true crime, particularly tales of enigmatic fraudsters duping affluent, unwitting victims, this book is for you. It's a fine saga of charmed lives, selfish desire, smooth salesmanship, head-shaking trust, plain deceitfulness and a family's shame."-- The Herald Chronicle "Author Dean Jobb cements Chicago's gritty reputation in Empire of Deception . Not since Erik Larson's The Devil in the White City has an author so eloquently captured the shadowy character of the city."-- Bookpage "Journalist Dean Jobb traces the fascinating history of Koretz's con, quoting from primary sources in such a way that the story reads closer to a novel than a historical report. In a story that's begging to be turned into a Mad Men -esque prestige drama, Empire of Deception follows Koretz's fraud from beginning to end."-- The A.V. Club "[T]his cautionary tale of 1920s greed and excess reads like it could happen today."-- The Associated Press "This lively, entertaining, and depressingly relevant history of a man and his con reads like a novel and will be enjoyed by fans of popular history as well as true crime."-- Library Journal (Starred Review)
