Scams And Cons: Manipulative Masterminds, Serial Swindlers, and Crafty Con Artists

From cults of personality to murderers, cases include: Simon Leviev; Anna Sorokin; Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos; Robert Hendy-Freegard; Issei Sagawa, the Japanese cannibal who conned his way out of French prison; John Edward Richards, one of the internet's first serial killers and a dedicated con man; James Hogue, whose multiple false and stolen identities saw him gain a scholarship to Princeton; Alicia Esteve Head, whose accounts of survival and loss in 9/11 were as fictional as the suicide she doctored to escape the repercussions; and more! A perfect gift for fans of shows, films, and documentaries like Inventing Anna, Bad Vegan, The Tinder Swindler, The Dropout, Dirty John, and more.
