The latest French fraud books

Books about fraud are about brilliant lies. Con artists, forgers, fake heirs and financial schemers win trust and take everything, until the story falls apart. True accounts of famous swindles sit beside novels that let you enjoy the con from the inside. The newest come first. Only books in French are listed.
