In the excellent podcast series, Who the Hell is Hamish,

journalist Greg Beirup explored the world of serial con artist Hamish McLaren.

McLaren had spent decades presenting himself as a successful financial advisor

while defrauding victims around the world of millions of dollars.

At the time of his arrest in 2017, Hamish was using the name Max Tevita, and he was in a long-term

relationship with Sydney woman Tracy Hall. She had no idea about his true identity or about the

fact that she was also one of his victims.

Tracy has written a book about their relationship and the process of discovery she's been through

since his arrest and the release of the podcast.
