Los Angeles Times journalist Edwin Chen unravels an audacious plot of greed, betrayal, and murder in Cheating Death. What looked like businessman Melvin Hanson's 1988 heart attack death in LA was actually a staged scene in a multi-million dollar insurance fraud conspiracy. Masterminded by John "Hawkeye" Hawkins with Dr. Richard Boggs, the scheme involved faking Hanson's death using another murdered man's corpse. Chen meticulously reconstructs the high-stakes con spanning NY and LA, the investigation that exposed it, and the deadly consequences when greed turns murderous.
