Kings of Stings: the Greatest Swindles from Down Under

In this first major survey of Australian con artists, the history of offers that are too good to be true—and the people who succeeded in making many believe otherwise—is explored. This entertaining and shocking account delves into the world of scammers such as Fairlie Arrow, Mario Condello, Helen Demidenko, Peter Foster, Brenton Jarrett, Lola Montez, and Christopher Skase. From faking deaths and forging paintings to impersonating aristocracy and changing paper into banknotes, the tricks of the highly talented are explained as the con artists? sordid pasts are combined in one gripping read.
