I want to read more books like "Financial Shenanigans, Fourth Edition: How to Detect Accounting Gimmicks and Fraud in Financial Reports". However, neither the book nor the first author are listed in your database. I couldn't find any narrow topic to match either.

Yep we only have books in our system that the 8,000 authors we have done these interviews with so far loved. So we are still missing a ton of books. We are adding more every week and eventually, I bet we will find someone who loves it. I am also hoping in late 2023 and early 2024 to expand and bring in the 3 favorite books that readers read that year. So that will give us a bit more data.

Ya that is harder topic, I am working on more around fraud, but here are some that might be good: https://shepherd.com/bookshelf/fraud https://shepherd.com/bookshelf/confidence-trick https://shepherd.com/bookshelf/money-laundering

In about 5 weeks I'll have filters to help you hone in from those to a specific topic.

You also might like this list on money laundering from Monica, she is a world expert on the subject and did a fascinating list on the subject: https://shepherd.com/best-books/tackling-money-laundering-ri...
