ISABEL VINCENT is an award-winning writer and investigative journalist and the author of the new book "Overture of Hope: Two Sisters' Daring Plan That Saved Opera's Jewish Stars from the Third Reich." The book uncovers the amazingly true story of Ida and Louise Cook -- two British opera fans who masterminded their own plan to rescue dozens of German and Austrian Jews from a terrible fate.
Vincent began her career in the 1990's as a foreign correspondent for the Globe and Mail, covering the conflicts that led to the Kosovo War. Since 2008, she has worked as an investigative reporter for the New York Post with a focus on exposing corruption, fearlessly pursuing the truth in an age where truth is under attack.
Some of Vincent's other books include "See No Evil: The Strange Case of Christine Lamont and David Spencer"; "Bodies and Souls: The Tragic Plight of Three Jewish Women Forced into Prostitution in the Americas"; "Gilded Lily: Lily Safra: The Making of One of the World's Wealthiest Widows" and her moving culinary memoir "Dinner with Edward", which along with “Overture of Hope” have been adapted for the big screen.

Vincent's writings have appeared in the New Yorker, the New York Times, the Independent, and many other international publications. She is also the recipient of numerous prestigious honors, including the Canadian Association of Journalist’s Award for Excellence in Investigative Journalism and the National Jewish Book Award.
