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."
