Customer Reviews

More hilarious stories of brilliant scams and scoundrels!

The follow-up to "Scams, Scandals, and Skulduggery" brings more fabulously entertaining stories of both past and present crooks. I read this book in one afternoon and felt guilty when I finished - I could read these stories forever. If you enjoy exploring some great criminal history, this is for you! And fans of CBC Radio's "Basic Black" should rate this a must-have!
