Amoralman: a true story and other lies by Derek Delgaudio - 235 pages

I saw the documentary "In and of Itself" of  Derek Delgaudio's one man Broadway show and was blown away.  It led me to seek out his book which covers the evolution of an extraordinary education in the art of deception, both of oneself and of others.  As a young man obsessed with magic and sleight of hand Delgaudio's seeks out mentors that eventually lead him into the world of illegal gambling and card fixing.  This book is a fascinating look into that world and how his life led to what is included in the stage show.  Highly recommend.
