She is particularly interested in the role of insurers in helping crime victims to conduct business transactions across the ragged edge between the legal economy and the economic underworld. Her 2019 book "Kidnap: Inside the Ransom Business" studies how the market for hostages functions, while her recent book "Lost Art" analyses how people resolve competing ownership claims over valuable artworks.
