The 1986 headlines proclaimed 20-year-old Barry Minkow a phenomenon as he took his multimillion dollar carpet cleaning firm public. Just one year later the newspapers told a different story, one of inconceivable fraud and embezzlement. Now, for the first time, Minkow tells his own story, from success to corruption to his life-changing experience in prison.
Long out of print, this is the story of Barry Minkow, teen-age whiz-kid and swindler extraordinaire. His rise and fall symbolized his times--the go-go, business-friendly Eighties--and even made 60 Minutes. Daniel Akst was there for the whole ride, profiling Minkow in the Los Angeles Times as a young entrepreneur and then prying the lid off his scam at the most inopportune moment. After a career as a pastor and fraud investigator, Minkow is in trouble with the law once again, making the release of Wonder Boy in Kindle format especially timely. Originally published by Scribner.

But after seven years in jail, the former criminal has gone evangelical -- preaching religion and running a fraud investigation business that's helped law enforcement combat conmen. Steve Kroft reports this amazing story of deception and redemption.
