Cheating Death by Edwin Chen

In Cheating Death by Edwin Chen, it looked like a typical tragic heart attack. Tycoon Melvin Hanson, visiting Los Angeles, died in his doctor's office. Dr. Richard Boggs signed the death certificate. And insurance companies began to pay out well over a million dollars. That was that.

Except it wasn't. The corpse was not Melvin Hanson. And the death was the result of Brilliant planning by a doctor on the brink of ruin, a business gambler on a dizzying roll, and a ruthless young man who exploited men and women alike. This electrifying true crime chronicle reveals a horrifying tale of sex, drugs, theft, betrayal, and a string of shockingly successful insurance scams amid the high-life and low-lifes of New York and L.A...and it vividly reconstructs the chilling events surrounding a crime that went one greedy step too far. Murder.
