The Scammer’s Playbook - An...

Egal Malotok

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
I’ve met every kind of scammer you can think of. 
The quiet ones who whisper you into doing whatever they want. 
The loud ones who slam the phone and make you doubt yourself. 
The ones who believe their own stories.  
And the ones who don't believe in nothing at all. 
The Scammer’s Playbook isn’t “based on true events.” 
It’s my field notes — real cases, real tricks, real losses. 
How the truth gets bent until it tucks neatly into someone’s pocket. 
How trust is built one small, honest-looking step at a time… right up until it’s time for the hard goodbye. 
I wrote The Scammer’s Playbook to show you the angles — the language, the timing, the psychology — that make a scam work. 
Once you see those patterns, you know exactly what time it is. 
You’ll recognize the play before it even begins.

Busted - A Tale of Corruption...

Wendy Ruderman, Barbara Laker

In the vein of Erin Brockovich, The Departed, and T. J. English's Savage City comes Busted, the shocking true story of the biggest police corruption scandal in Philadelphia history, a tale of drugs, power, and abuse involving a rogue narcotics squad, a confidential informant, and two veteran journalists whose reporting drove a full-scale FBI probe, rocked the City of Brotherly Love, and earned a Pulitzer Prize .
In 2003, Benny Martinez became a Confidential Informant for a member of the Philadelphia Police Department's narcotics squad, helping arrest nearly 200 drug and gun dealers over seven years. But that success masked a dark and dangerous reality: the cops were as corrupt as the criminals they targeted.
In addition to fabricating busts, the squad systematically looted mom-and-pop stores, terrorizing hardworking immigrant owners. One squad member also sexually assaulted three women during raids. Frightened for his life, Martinez turned to Philadelphia Daily News reporters Wendy Ruderman and Barbara Laker.
Busted chronicles how these two journalists—both middle-class working mothers—formed an unlikely bond with a convicted street dealer to uncover the secrets of ruthless kingpins and dirty cops. Professionals in an industry shrinking from severe financial cutbacks, Ruderman and Laker had few resources—besides their own grit and tenacity—to break a dangerous, complex story that would expose the rotten underbelly of a modern American city and earn them a Pulitzer Prize. A page-turning thriller based on superb reportage, illustrated with eight pages of photos, Busted is modern true crime at its finest.
