  The Headhunter's Granddaughter

  Pedo, the central character of "The Headhunter's Granddaughter", grew up deep in the jungles of Borneo, Malaysia. Her parents gave her away to her father's brother, a cruel man who used her for child labor, tapping rubber trees to make money. Her parents had too many mouths to feed, twelve children in all. Pedo wouldn't be missed. 
  Her grandfather, the "Headhunter", cared for her by recruiting village women to breastfeed her and their children. During WWII, the Japanese invaded Borneo and tried to take over their village, and Pedo's grandfather practiced his 'skills' with a vengeance. 
  As she grew older, Pedo was still naked to the world until one of the village women took pity on her and gave her an old white smock, which she wore for many years. She still didn't have any underwear or shoes. 
  The years pass, and then a middle-aged American man walks by the Salon one afternoon. She smiled and waved 'hello' to him, hoping to attract another customer. That gesture was the beginning of the next fruitful adventure in her life.

  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 nothin' at all. 
  The Scammer’s Playbook isn’t “based on true events.” 
  It’s my field notes — real cases, real scams, 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 vol. 1 to show you the angles — the language, the timing, the psychology — all the nuances that make a scam work. 
  Once you see the patterns, you know exactly what time it is. 
  You’ll recognize the play before it even begins.

  Best Copy Available - A True...

  In the winter of 1984, Sharon Nicorvo was violently raped while delivering pizza to Fort Monmouth Army Base in New Jersey. At the same time, her seven-year-old son Jay was being subjected to repeated and secret sexual abuse by his babysitter. Best Copy Available delves into these devastating events and their long aftermath. Thirty years later, Nicorvo receives a photocopy of the criminal investigation report documenting that brutal night. This report offers a primer to better understand certain assumptions about class and race; sex and violence; crime and punishment; low and high culture; sanity, madness, and masculinity; and the facsimile nature of the truth.As various American men―some real, some imagined, all prone to violence―move in and then out of their hardscrabble lives, mother and son spend decades avoiding and ultimately confronting what happened to them in that formative year.Most ambitiously, Best Copy Available lends voice to an alternative version of American boyhood, manhood, and fatherhood. One where the sons of deadbeat dads can grow up to be stay-at-home dads, and where our boys and men may realize that the most courageous show of strength is not the determined use of force. It's knowing when and how to ask for help.
