Summary:
"The spellbinding tale of an epic international manhunt for a psychopathic
con
artist who exploited the dreams of creators to steal dozens of identities and millions of dollars. Blending years of deep reporting with distinctive, powerful prose, Scott C. Johnson’s unique true crime narrative recounts the tale of the brilliantly cunning imposter who carved a path of financial and emotional destruction across the world. Gifted with a diabolical flair for impersonation, manipulation, and deception, the
Con
Queen
used their skill with accents and deft psychological insight to sweep through the entertainment industry. Johnson traces the origins of this mastermind and follows the years-long investigation of a singularly determined private detective who helped deliver them to the FBI. Described by one victim as a “crazy,
evil
genius
,” the
Con
Queen
enacted one of the most elaborate scams ever to hit
Hollywood
-- the perfect criminal, committing the perfect crime for our time. But for what purpose? And with what motive? Johnson’s unparalleled access to sources -- including exclusive interviews with victims and never-before-heard recordings of the
Con
Queen
-- brought global attention to the scam, spurred law enforcement to act, and led Johnson himself to venture in search of the
Con
Queen
. Journeying from Los Angeles to the United Kingdom to Jakarta, Johnson eventually came face-to-face with one of the most disturbing criminal minds in recent history, only to realize what chasing the
Con
Queen
revealed about himself and his own troubled family history."--Publisher.
