The Art of the Steal

Described as "one of the nation's leading authorities on foul play," the author's criminal credentials provide him with the anecdotal information he shares about fraud. From crimes Abagnale has been asked to solve as a consultant, many lessons for learners emerge that everyone with money should hear. Barrett Whitener's pleasant voice makes it clear how vulnerable our money is, and listeners will welcome the dozens of suggestions offered on how to protect it. Whitener sometimes uses a tone of incredulity when appropriate but otherwise stays in the background, leaving us with plenty of concentration left to balance our statements and count our change.
