As Tori Telfer reveals the art of the con has a long and venerable tradition, and its female practitioners are some of the best - or worst. This book asks the provocative question: where does chutzpah intersect with a uniquely female pathology - and how were these notorious women able to so spectacularly dupe and swindle their victims?
