Rip-Off: A Writer's Guide to Crimes of Deception

In this revealing guide, professional Pl Fay Faron gives you the complete lowdown on the low down, detailing today's most cunning bunco schemes from street-level shell games to high-stakes real estate swindles. You'll go inside the minds of dozens of confidence crooks, learning their lingo, lifestyles and tricks of the trade. Plus, Faron profiles the unwitting victims — from elderly widows to young models — exposing how cons convince people to fall for the bait and part with their cash. Let Rip-Off do your dirty work so you can write a story readers will fall for hook, line and sinker.
