“Confidence tricks” is a category focused on the world of con artists and the schemes that exploit trust, spanning both nonfiction and fiction. Nonfiction titles include histories and case studies of famous swindles, psychological explorations of persuasion and social engineering, and examinations of how scams operate and how to recognize and avoid them. Fiction entries often feature charismatic grifters, intricate long cons, and twisty capers that probe moral ambiguity and the allure of deception. Together, these books illuminate the mechanics of fraud, the motives and vulnerabilities of victims and perpetrators, and the social, legal, and cultural contexts in which scams thrive.
