Reading Experience
At 28,160 words across roughly 113 pages, this one runs about 2.3 hours of reading time. Long enough to dig into its subject properly, short enough that it does not lose you along the way. For true crime, this length tends to work well — room to develop ideas without padding.
About the Author
Written in 2023 when Atharva Inamdar was 26, The Con Artist's Playbook comes from the final year before the comeback. After years of writing with no publisher willing to handle a catalog of 1,500+ books, this true crime work represents persistence through industry rejection. True crime writing that requires the same unflinching honesty that characterizes the best of the non-fiction catalog.
