Man Overboard: The Counterfeit Resurrection of Phil Champagne (English Edition) Kindle版
The true-crime story of one man’s life after his faked death, by the New York Times–bestselling author of Murder in the Family.
1982: Oregon businessman Phil Champagne, age 52, dies in a tragic boating accident off Lopez Island off the coast of Washington state. He is survived by one ex-wife, four adult children, an octogenarian mother, and two despondent brothers. Phil didn’t know he was dead until he read it in the paper. All things considered, he took it rather well. So did Phil’s brother, Mitch, the beneficiary of a 1.5 million dollar policy on Phil’s life.
1992: Washington restauranteur Harold Stegeman, famous for his thick, juicy steaks, is arrested by the Secret Service for printing counterfeit United States currency in an Idaho shed. In addition to the bogus bills, Stegeman also has a fraudulently obtained passport, a fabricated Cayman Island driver’s license, and Phil Champagne’s fingerprints.
When the uproarious reality of Harold Stegeman’s secret identity hit the headlines, the counterfeit resurrection of Phil Champagne became one of the most celebrated and hysterically funny true-crime stories of the twentieth century. And while every supermarket tabloid and television talk show hounded after the untold story, only Edgar Award–winner Burl Barer captured Champagne’s confidence and received permission to detail Phil’s post-mortem career of fraud, deception, trickery, lies, and fine prime rib, bringing to life the exploits of a man his family thought dead over a decade ago.
Includes bonus photographs, a police interrogation transcript, and an afterword by Phil Champagne

Fairly zips along
2015年11月1日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Cracking true (???) story which fairly zips along - deducted one star because you can never be sure this conman is not embellishing the truth from time to time. Great how-to manual if you're thinking of doing a runner!

Interesting Story - Confusing Read
2015年11月26日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Maybe I'm just dense but this was one of the most confusing books I've read and I read a lot of books. It's actually a pretty good story though parts of it would seem to strain the bounds of credibility - shoot outs with no repercussions for example. The story jumped round on time lines and characters, There were lots of aliases and with the confusing jumping back and forth of time lines, much of the time I didn't know for sure who they were talking about. Is Harold actually Phil? (Yes he is.) X-Ray is not active so that's not a source to reduce confusion but honestly I'm not sure it would have helped. And there were some editing issues. Misspellings resulting in the wrong word (new for knew, on for one etc.- dates seeming mixed up. If I remember correctly the story has Barb marrying Richard in 1965 and meeting him in 1974. It's an interesting story but a tough read. If I could give it 3.5 stars I would.

Wishing You Were Phil Champagne While Thinking He was a Moron
2015年1月22日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
The story here is borderline unbelievable. It will completely maintain your attention and is worth reading. I think everyone who reads will yearn for a bit of adventure and almost wish they could have the opportunity that Phil Champagne had. All of this while thinking Phil Champagne was a complete moron for what he was doing. Tricky and interesting balance. The book is very well written and I enjoyed the style. It had an almost Eric Larsen type feel. The only dissapointment here is that I felt like some things were unresolved by the book- but I think if you read you will understand that they had to be!

Gets into the man's brain
2015年3月22日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
With the author's interview skills he gets into the brain of Phil Champagne. Phil lives by a different moral code, where one reasons that money can be literally made without hurting anybody. Phil adores but at the same time mocks the wealthy lifestyle. He reasons that his family is better off without him, thinking no one values him anyway, and shows how easy it is to run away and feel the temporal relief of personal freedom. With his charms, it is easy for him to find female companionship and support. To me, it's a middle-aged man gone wild, with other men and women helping him out, not asking enough questions. Women, to Phil, seem to be necessary but on a lower level, made to be used. One hopes for justice throughout.
I give this a five-star rating, though I am more of a fan of the gentility of romance novels.
