Hardback. Condizione: New. The gripping true story of a serial con man whose lies condemned a man to death row by award-winning New York Times Magazine writer Pamela Colloff.'Incendiary, emotionally devastating. [This] is a feat of dogged reporting, bravura storytelling, and clear-eyed moral conscience.' -Patrick Radden Keefe, author of Say Nothing and London FallingFor more than three decades, Paul Skalnik roamed the southern states of America lying about who he was. He passed himself off as a fighter pilot, a high-rolling oilman, a criminal defense attorney, an undercover agent, and a terminal cancer patient. In these guises he married nine women-some at the same time - and scammed them out of their money.When Skalnik got caught, as he invariably did, he would run a different con. Locked up with other men awaiting trial, he claimed they confessed their crimes to him. Then he peddled those stories to prosecutors. In Florida, he became a frequent witness for the state, thinking nothing of exaggerating men's wrongdoing or implicating the innocent to help prosecutors win convictions. In return, the state rewarded him with his freedom, fueling his growing sense of invincibility. Soon he was not just committing fraud; he was preying on girls in their teens or barely into adolescence.In 1985, Jim Dailey, a down-on-his-luck Vietnam veteran, was implicated in the murder of a 14-year-old girl and landed in jail with Skalnik. Despite a total lack of forensic evidence, Skalnik's account of Dailey's "confession" was enough to put Dailey on death row where he still waits, four decades later.In this mesmerizing debut, Pamela Colloff spins a dark tale of a remorseless and brilliant liar made lethal by a system more concerned with winning convictions than finding the truth.'A fiery indictment. portrays the banality of evil in our time.' -STARRED Kirkus review.

Edited by the estimable and indefatigable crime-writer Sarah Weinman. Foreword by Patrick Radden Keefe, the brilliant New Yorker Magazine writer, who has written similar Crime Profiles himself. "The appeal of true-crime stories has never been higher. The cultural appetite for stories of real people doing terrible things is insatiable. Culls together some of the most refreshing and exciting contemporary journalists and chroniclers of crime working today: Michelle Dean's 'Dee Dee Wanted Her Daughter To Be Sick Gypsy Wanted Her Mom To Be Murdered' went viral when it was first published, and is the basis of 'The Act'. Pamela Colloff's 'The Reckoning' is the gold standard of forensic journalism" (Publisher's blurb). There are thirteen pieces in all, each one of them makes us understand why crime stories transfix and are impossible to resist. An absolute must-have title for Sarah Weinman, Patrick Radden Keefe and true-crime collectors. This title is a great collection.
