Book excerpt: First published in 1922, Confessions of a Confidence Man remains just as relevant today for its timeless observations on human nature. Both the con man and his victim are laid bare in this classic study of the intersections of psychology and crime. From the original dust jacket description: "These "con" stories show you how kid-glove criminals operate to fool the best of men-the bona-fide confessions of an ex-confidence man, chronicled by one who has had life-long contact with the arch-criminals of fraud and trickery. Everyone has met the wily confidence man, and this personal exposé of his methods will prove of absorbing interest."
