Alex Cody Foster is one of the most successful Ghost Writers in the world. Having penned eight #1 Amazon best sellers, he's one of the most sought-after Ghosts in the field - a reputation that would eventually attract the attention of the highly controversial crypto magnate John McAfee. Alex's travels with Team McAfee would go on to inspire his book 'The Man Who Hacked The World: A Ghostwriter's Descent Into Madness with John McAfee', along with inspiring the Netflix documentary 'Running with the Devil' in which Alex himself would also star.
Since then, Alex has continued writing, dancing along illicit lines with the story of Owen Hanson in 'The California Kid: From USC Golden Boy to International Drug Kingpin' along with his investigations into serial killers and murder theories. Recently he's taken a keen interest in one criminal conspiracy - the Smiley Face Murders, a serial killer theory alleging that the drowning of 45 men across the United States are actually the collected works of by a shadowy group of murderous individuals. It all makes for a killer conversation - now if only we had the perfect ghost to punch it up.
