The greatest frauds in fiction

It’s no lie: We are still living in the golden age of the scammer story. But we can’t help noticing that nonfiction listens seem to be getting all the love—and why should they? From our old pal Tom Ripley (coming soon to a TV near you!) to the immortal Count of Monte Cristo, there are definitely enough charismatic grifters and outlandish pretenders in fiction to keep your jaw dropping from all the brazen lies and killer confidence. Here are a few of our favorites.
