Join us on Wednesday July 12th at 6:30 pm as we welcome Scott C. Johnson to the store to discuss and sign The Con Queen of Hollywood: The Hunt for an Evil Genius. Joining Scott in conversation will be Matthew Belloni.

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.

Scott C. Johnson is an award-winning investigative journalist and foreign correspondent, and the author of the Washington Post Notable Book, The Wolf and the Watchman: A Father, a Son, and the CIA.

This event is free to attend and will be held in the courtyard at DIESEL, A Bookstore in Brentwood.
