Sony Live web series Scam 1992 is also based on this book and and used this for source material. I liked this book so much because author did not attempt to portray a single character negatively and ruin their reputation, instead his whole book was based on investigative trail, relying on police chargesheets, statements from investigators, and relevant media content, as well as the testimonies of witnesses. He did not try to blame anyone guilty, he just showed the whole truth to everyone and let everyone have their own opinion and perspective and he even acknowledged that not everything that is shown is a hundred percent accurate. 

This book is a must read, I personally recommend this book to everyone. This is not just a book it’s an experience. It covers even the smallest details of the scam. Cover page of the book is also brilliant, it goes perfectly with the book. Highly recommended!!
