Who the Hell is Hamish? The Last Victim by Tracy Hall

Tracey Hall is an author, keynote speaker and senior marketing executive. Over the last 25 years, Tracy has had extensive exposure to start-ups, large corporations and global tech brands in Australia and the US, including Virgin Mobile, eBay, Go Daddy and Afterpay. Tracy loves leading teams to deliver brand, growth and customer marketing communications programs that have a strong commercial drive to deliver impactful business results. She frequently consults for smaller companies and not-for-profits needing brand, content and growth marketing strategies. In 2019, Tracy made a name for herself as Hamish McLaren's famous 'last victim' thanks to her role in The Australian's podcast, Who the Hell is Hamish? Today, Tracy writes and speaks publicly about intimate fraud, romance scams, white-collar crime, victim mindsets, resilience and humanity's need to rethink how we trust. By sharing her personal stories about falling prey to one of the world's most infamous con men and having to take a crash course in 'resilience' after losing her father to leukemia and watching her mum battle breast cancer, Tracy is living her mission of embracing and normalising vulnerability while helping others heed the warning signs of intimate and financial betrayal. The Last Victim is her first book.
