About this listen

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.

I had never heard about this guy before so didn’t know the story. The book is not well laid out and all over the place. Could have been written in some sort of chronological order. A lot of the characters were not fully explained. This audio was only 4 hours long and I thinking it needed a better story telling. Too jumbled.
Too bad because it’s a fascinating story

Interesting story
