Publisher's Summary

The Talented Mr. Ripley meets Catch Me If You Can in this riveting, stranger-than-fiction story of the French con artist whose crimes span decades and continents.

In 2019, veteran journalist Mark Seal began investigating the suspicious death of music mogul Peter Ikin. Just 32 days before he was found dead in his Paris hotel room, Ikin had married a handsome, debonair Frenchman named Alexandre, who would claim to be entitled to his late husband’s fortune. As Seal dug into the case, he had no idea that tracing the incredible life of Alexandre Despallieres would take him from Paris to London to Beverly Hills, and unspool a web of intricate plots and deceptions that, for a time, made Despallieres a millionaire and left multiple alleged victims dead in his wake.

Mark Seal uncovers impossible stories about a man who seems to evade justice at every turn.

Sociopaths truly ate Clever Manipulators

I like reading books based on truth and this is one of them. It’s a short read that comes across like investigative journalism. At least 20% of the population is burdened with mental issues and sociopaths are ones we need to pay attention to because of their insatiable ambition. Always hungry for power and prestige, they will use anyone and any means for their gain. This French con artist however is more than a sociopath. Having conned and killed his victims, he really falls into the category of psychopath. This book is worth reading and/or listening to.

Gripping

I had heard nothing of this story, and was stunned. Very well written: I had no idea of the backstory until friends of the deceased raised red flags in the year after his death. I was riveted by the details, could not go to sleep!
