The Con Queen of Hollywood : the hunt for an evil genius / Scott C. Johnson. by Johnson, Scott C. Harper, an imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers, 2023. Call #: 364.163 J69c Subjects Johnson, Scott C.   Johnson, Scott C. -- Family.   Tahilramani, Hargobind.   Fraud investigation.   Impostors and imposture -- California -- Los Angeles.   Swindlers and swindling -- California -- Los Angeles.   Identity theft. ISBN:  9780063036932 (hc) Edition:  1st ed. Description:  x, 244 p. ; 24 cm. 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.
