any good books on the topic you could recommend?

They're mostly in Dutch, but I'd recommend Peter R. de Vries - "The Kidnapping of Alfred Heineken". It's written from the perspective of the leader of the (beer tycoon) Heineken kidnappers, Cor van Hout. They prepared the kidnap (worldnews at the time) in excruciating detail and planned for almost everything. It's a very cool book -- and a coward crime.

(Peter R de Vries is also the journalist who demasked Joran van der Sloot as Nathalie Holloway's killer.)
There's a book of once greatest softdrug dealer of Western Europe Klaas Bruinsma "De Dominee" (The minister). It's a classic Scarface tale of the rise and fall of a top criminal.

There's also "De Endstra Tapes", a scripted dialogue between real estate magnate Endstra & Dutch recherche (FBI) on how he got himself involved with the worst people in the underworld. The detail of crimes and sociopathy of the main nemesis, Willem Holleeder, truly stand out. Sadly, it's only in Dutch. It's a great lesson for guys who think easy money's worth the pay-off.
