These are weirdly hard to come by. I guess most true crime readers are interested in violence? But I have started The Art of the Con: The Most Notorious Fakes, Frauds, and Forgeries in the Art World and am finding it interesting.

Cheryl (6of8) | 247 comments I am not sure if I have any for this prompt yet.

Ones I have read in the past, however, include The Man Who Loved Books Too Much and one of the several books about the heist at the Isabella Steward Gardner Museum (but I cannot recall the name, sorry -- looked it up a different way -- The Gardner Heist).

I have not read Frank Abignale's Catch Me if You Can, but that would be fun, I think. And I am sure there are at least a couple books on Bernie Madoff, if people are looking for other ideas.
