Herman Melville may have been famed for his epic work 'Moby Dick' but his last novel in 1856 was a short but perfectly formed handbook on how to spot a con and a con men.

Melville noticed and put his great writing skills to work to show the operations of swindlers and crooks who prey on the good nature of others. 🤞🦹💰
