Finding out just how this scheme transpired is the big fun of Mr. Johnson's book, which folds the official investigation of ""The Con Queen of Hollywood"" into Mr. Johnson's own deep reporting for the Hollywood Reporter."" -- Wall Street Journal ""If The Con Queen of Hollywood were merely a rip-roaring international caper, it would already be deeply satisfying. But it's so much more than that: a probing of the nature of evil, in its banality and its flamboyance, as well as the moral quandaries of investigative journalism, from one of the best practitioners in the game."" -- Julian Sancton, New York Times bestselling author of Madhouse at the End of the Earth ""In a twist-filled new book, writer Scott C Johnson tears back the layers of deception in a story of a scammer who wreaked havoc in the film industry . . . . Riveting."" -- The Guardian ""Scott C. Johnson's book is a shape-shifter, morphing from true crime investigation to memoir to travelogue to an examination of mythology and linguistics and journalistic ethics . . . . And despite the thematic depths it mines, it is a rocket of a book that can and should be consumed in a headlong dash for maximum effect."" -- Los Angeles Times ""This portrait of one of the most creative criminal minds of the last decade is a jaw-dropping must-read."" -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) ""Although Johnson's obsessive investigation results in a penetrating picture of a sad, sick man, it is his portrayals of Harvey's vulnerable victims that prove more compelling. A grifter exposed in sordid detail."" -- Kirkus Reviews ""Gripping true-crime."" -- Booklist ""A chilling study of deception and evil."" -- Library Journal" """Fascinating . . . .
