{"product_id":"9781514413401","title":"The Making of a Con","description":"This is not the story of an ordinary criminal but rather the story of a man caught up in a world within which he could not function; boyhood naïveté did not prepare him for a society that inflicted stark reality. This true-to-life story is told in his own words, with minor editorial adjustments. The first twenty chapters are told before he found out the facts surrounding his father’s death. I am sure the reader will be as intrigued as I was by the circumstances that propelled this man inexorably onto his destructive path, a man without goals and who hated prisons as much as he depended upon them.","brand":"Xlibris US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47132387213552,"sku":"9781514413401","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781514413401_p0.jpg?v=1763729449","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781514413401","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
