She is also the author of the award-winning Bodies and Souls, which tells the story of impoverished Jewish women from the shtetls of Russia and Poland who were forced into prostitution in South America. Isabel won the National Jewish Book Award (Canada) for her work on Bodies and Souls, which has become a primer for activists fighting against sex trafficking around the world today. Her book on Swiss banks and dormant accounts in the Nazi era -- Hitler's Silent Partners -- was the recipient of the Yad Vashem Award for Holocaust History. Her first book, See No Evil, goes behind the scenes in one of Latin America's biggest kidnapping cases.

Vincent began her career in journalism as a correspondent in Rio de Janeiro, from which she covered Latin America and Africa. She once bought a house in Rocinha, Rio de Janeiro's biggest shantytown, and traveled through the Amazon Rainforest with Avon ladies who peddled perfume and face cream in the world's remotest cosmetics market. She also covered the fall of Medellin Cartel kingpin Pablo Escobar in Medellin. At The New York Post, Vincent covers corruption in New York City and across the country.

Her next book, Gold Bar Bob: The Downfall of the Most Corrupt US Senator, is available for pre-order. Co-written with Thomas Jason Anderson, Gold Bar Bob is an investigation into the rise and fall of Robert Menendez, one of the most powerful politicians in the US who was convicted on multiple counts of corruption after he sold his Senate office for hundreds of thousands in gold bars and cash.
