The Mark Inside

In 1919, Texas rancher J. Frank Norfleet lost everything to a stock market swindle—twice. Refusing to yield, he embarked on a daring quest, tracking the confidence men across the country. Norfleet's ingenious "reverse-swindle" involved allowing himself to be conned repeatedly to gather evidence and bring his enemies to justice. Amy Reading's book not only chronicles Norfleet's extraordinary vendetta but also uncovers the intricate mechanics of the "big con" and its place in American history.
