註釋In this book, journalist Nigel Blundell opens the door on the risky, adrenaline-fueled world of the men and women who cannbsp;pull offnbsp;a sting. A cut above the common crook, the con artist must be wily, charming, and seamlessly smooth. And if they’re worth their salt, you won’t know you’ve been had until they’re on the next flight and your wallet is a whole lot lighter. Included in the line-up is the mastermind who, posing as a count, sold the Eiffel Tower—twice; the happy hooker who kidnapped her lover and conned a court; the man whose exploits inspired the hit filmCatch Me If You Can,and many more.The Stingalso looks at what motivates the con artist, how they plan their scams, and how they get away with it.
