The Man in the Rockefeller Suit by Mark Seal.. You’d have thought the ultimate con would be a relic of a pre-information-age, but no. This one featuring Gerhartsreiter's fakery is a topper. It’s the faux Rothko more than the Brahmin cred that captivates me, but to each his own. – Joel Gardner, LitSnap Editor |

"Mr. Seal, who interviewed almost 200 people for this book, fashions a brisk narrative that has all the pace and drive of a suspense novel." – The New York Times "Rich people don't Google: That's one of the curious things to be gleaned from Mark Seal's frivolous but highly diverting true-crime saga, “The Man in the Rockefeller Suit.” It tells the story of Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter, the son of a house painter from a small town in Bavaria, who spent 30 years living under a series of false identities in the United States." – Salon |
