In Freetown, Sierra Leone, on presenting his passport at immigration, the official returned Don Oliver's passport with the remark: "There's a page missing." After a few perplexing moments, Don got the message and slipped a US$20 note into his passport whereupon it was stamped with a visa. Not content with putting his feet up and retiring, Don is still on the maritime beat, and now telling the real stories behind his investigations into some of the world's most ingenious insurance frauds and fraudsters.
Don Oliver's life's work flits him from one scam to another, crisscrossing the globe, exposing the most extraordinary people bent on fooling the system with mindboggling schemes ... but not for long ... There's a Page Missing reads like a detective novel: fast-moving, fun and often incredible.
