Charming Predator

She fell in love with him, they married and then she found out who he was: a conman who was determined to destroy her.

She was a capable and confident young woman, studying broadcast journalism and honing her skills of observation and objectivity.

She was also a little unworldly, the product of a small, rural Western Canadian community where doors were never locked and life was simple and direct.

On a backpacking trip in the UK, she met the man who would become her husband.

A man who everyone agreed was one of the most intelligent, charming people they had ever met.

Easy to like, easy to believe. Easy to love. A man without mercy who shattered her emotionally, psychologically and financially.

Decades later, Kenner Jones is at large today, having committed crimes around the world under a series of fake names and personas.

He has been describedby a seasoned US immigration officeras "the best conman I have ever encountered." No one got closer to Kenner Jones than Lee Mackenzie.

In The Charming Predator, he is unmasked for the first time.
