About this listen
It’s the $10 million heist you’ve never heard of. In a matter of months, dozens of truckloads disappeared from American highways. But what were they carrying? Nuts.
Marc Fennell takes you into a rabbit hole of crime syndicates, stolen identities and private investigators that will change the way you think about food forever. Eighty per cent of the world’s almonds are grown in the heart of California, but this journey will take you to Italy, the Spanish coast, deep under the earth and even into space.

Entertaining and Educational
Surprisingly enjoyable! Loved the storytelling. Was aghast at what I learned. This should be part of the high school curriculum.

makes you realize where our food comes from
Listening to this story was enjoyable as I learned about where nuts come from in California the price people have to pay to have these luxuries and how people pay with illnesses and low wages to the bouts of organized crime steeling and shipping the products all over the world

Absolutely Awesome
Anyone who enjoyed this might also enjoy the 2012 (but still relevant) documentary, “The Dust Bowl” by Ken Burns.

Makes you think twice about where your food comes
I enjoyed this series as my title says it makes you think twice about the road your food traveled to get to your plate. To think that a small nut can be so valuable that it would drive people to commit a crime is crazy to me. The way Mark presents the story is entertaining. Take a listen you won't be disappointed.

It was good, but it did not impress me
The book showed 5 stars when I bought the audiobook. It was not that good

Please cut the music
I am so sick of documentaries that need to add the funky music. Extremely annoying.
