Introducing: The Grift

Coming soon from Panoply and Maria Konnikova, The Grift: stories about con artists and the lives they ruin.

Best-selling author and New Yorker writer Maria Konnikova takes us to the darker side of human nature and deceit. Ten stories about card sharks, cult leaders, art forgers, impostors, and more. Why do we fall for them time and time again?
