SynopsisThe bestselling author of Son and Doc investigates a chilling series of alleged murders that exposes the sinister underworld of Gypsy culture in America In June of 1994, the Oakland Tribune cracked a story of a string of bizarre deaths in the San Francisco area. The victims were elderly, well-to-do and, in each case, had been befriended by members of an extended Gypsy family -- the Tene Bimbos. Fay Faron, also known as Rat Dog Dick, a dynamic and unconventional private investigator in the Bay Area, was contacted by a lawyer to investigate the strange accusations of an elderly widow who claimed she was being swindled out of her hilltop mansion by a young man named Danny Tene. Within days, the widow was dead and Danny Tene stood to inherit a fortune. Olsen chronicles Faron's hunt for Danny Tene, his mother Mary Steiner, and his beautiful sister Angela -- a family of suspected con artists who may have been responsible for the deaths of as many as five helpless elderly men and women, whose property -- and possibly whose lives -- the family allegedly stole., The bestselling author of "Son" and "Doc" investigates a chilling series of alleged murders that exposes the sinister underworld of Gypsy culture in America. 8-page photo insert.

A scary story of officials ignoring a tragic crime
I personally know a victim of this crime and he suggested this book as being the best way to explain what had happened. It was really a rather disturbing read, especially as we can see the same thing recurring again and again to this day. The police and authorities refuse to take action against criminals who are anything other than simple individuals doing simple one-on-one crime. Any sign of a complex legal situation, or a politically protected racial minority, or any way in which the crime will be complicated and difficult to deal with and it all gets swept under the carpet.
