In 2017, Tracy Hall's life went from fact to fiction overnight when she discovered the man she'd been dating for nearly two years, Max, was actually one of Australia's most prolific con men - Hamish McLaren. Also known as Hamish Watson. Also known as Hamish Maxwell.

Suddenly 'Max' was gone, along with the $317,000 in life savings Tracy had given him to invest. As for her ability to trust? Hamish had stolen that too.

Through speaking with investigators and playing an instrumental role in The Australian's hit podcast, Who the Hell is Hamish?, Tracy would soon discover she was not Hamish's only victim - just his last. Hamish, and his Colgate-commercial-worthy smile, had been honing his confidence game for decades.

The Last Victim shares the full story of what happened before, during, and after Tracy unknowingly swiped right on a man who'd reportedly swindled people around the world out of an estimated $70 million through investment and business scams.

Fast-paced and empowering, The Last Victim is in many ways a warning siren because, as Tracy shows, it doesn't matter where you're from, how you were raised and educated, or how intuitive you think you are - anyone can fall victim to a scam. At the same time, it's searing, defiant proof that it is possible to create an even better life after experiencing the ultimate emotional and financial betrayal.

Summer Land

Summer Land has authored and ghostwritten over ten books including The Mindful High Performer (Chelsea Pottenger), Acting Up (Lynne McGranger), A Joyful Life (Rosemary Kariuki) and Aussie Ark (Tim Faulkner). Her debut memoir, Summerlandish: Do As I Say, Not As I Did, earned Summer a nomination for Cosmopolitan’s “Fun Fearless Female Award” and garnered praise from 2014 Stella Prize winner, Clare Wright, who wrote, “Summer Land is Gen Y’s answer to Bill Bryson.

She’s an inveterate outlier who drags you in from the cold and wraps you in a great warm blanket of Summer lovin’. With an eye for the absurd, an ear for language and a nose for poop (actual poop, not bullpoop), Summer welcomes you into her hilarious world of cross-cultural misadventure. With her cherry-chapsticked all-American cheerleader charm, she will steal your heart and open your mind to life’s strange but true potential.”

When she's not writing, Summer is passionate about helping individuals and teams collaborate more efficiently, perform more effectively and produce work that doesn't come at the cost of their mental health. Through her role as a keynote speaker for EQ Minds, she gives people the confidence and mindfulness tools needed to act triumphantly and sustainably in everyday life.
