Con Men, Gamblers and Hustlers (329 books)

Listopia > Con Men, Gamblers and Hustlers

Literary history's cheekiest and most notorious rogues and fortune hunters.

Fiction and nonfiction, but book must actually center on the character(s) in question -- and NO party/presidential/congressional/parliamentary or otherwise partisan politics, please.

I realize that 2012 is an election year in the U.S. and there are and will be elections going on in other parts of the world now and in the coming years, too, but this list is NOT intended as a forum to expose the perceived dishonesty of whatever candidate and/or party you personally are not supporting. Thanks.

Oh, and speaking of a more recent brand of hustles -- spam will be deleted with any warning whatsoever.
