Description

A fisherman pulls up his net to find a dead body. The pockets are turned out, but there's a Rolex on his wrist. So begins the chase for a con man that spanned two continents and would involve stolen identities, fine arts, and gold bars in diapers (or nappies).

This is a Preview of Sea of Lies from Uncover and CBC Sounds, hosted by Sam Mullins.
