My interest was inspired by this great Cracked article on secret identities.
This is the story of Bill Leasure, a mild mannered LAPD cop who was arrested for stealing yachets and murdering people. It is a completely true story, although it is more of the truth-is-stranger-than-fiction type story.
The book is good but long. Humes has done his research and the book reads more in narrative form. I found it an interesting read but I'm not necessarily gushing about it.

A remarkable piece of journalism, though dry in places.
This book was pretty good,just really long.
