On the surface, Ken Baker seemed a model man. He was a nationally ranked hockey goalie, a Hollywood correspondent for People, a guest at celebrity parties and girls came on to him. Inside, though, he didn't feel like the man he was supposed to be. Although attracted to women, Ken had little sex drive and, thus, even less of a sex life. To his anguish, he repeatedly found himself unable to perform sexually. And, regardless of strenuous workouts, his body struggled to build muscle, earning him the nickname "Pear" from his macho teammates. Physically, matters turned bizarre when he discovered that he was lactating. The testosterone-driven culture in which Ken grew up made it agonisingly difficult for him to seek help. But, in time, he discovered something that lifted years of pain, frustration and confusion a brain tumour was causing his body to be flooded with massive amounts of a female hormone, which was disabling his masculinity. Five hours of surgery accomplished what years of therapy, rumination and denial could not and allowed Ken Baker to finally feel and function like a man.

It was the golden age of eBay. Optimistic bidders went online to the world's largest flea market, ready to spend cash on everything from garden gnomes to Mercedes convertibles. Among them were art collectors willing to spend big money on unseen paintings, hoping to buy valuable pieces of art at below-market prices. EBay also attracted the occasional con artist unable to resist the temptation of abusing a system that prided itself on being "based on trust." Walton--once a lawyer bound by the ethics of his profession--was seduced by just such a con artist and, eventually, became one himself. What started out as a satisfying exercise in reselling thrift store paintings in order to pay back student loans and mounting credit card debt soon became an addiction to the subtle deception of luring unsuspecting bidders into overpaying for paintings of questionable origins.--From publisher description.
