Greg has published three non-fiction books with major houses, including two true-crime books: Without a Trace: The Disappearance of Amy Billig and American Spy, the memoir of Watergate conspirator E. Howard Hunt. His latest book, however, is all about scam artists. Check out Scam Alert: Stories of the World’s Greatest Modern Cons.
