Catch Me If You Can

Frank Abagnale, also known as Frank Williams, Robert Conrad, Frank Adams, and Robert Monho—one of the boldest and most elusive con artists, counterfeiters, and swindlers in history. During his brief but glorious career, Abagnale—dressed in a pilot’s uniform—pretended to be a PanAm pilot; posed as a doctor and a member of the board of trustees of a respectable clinic; became an assistant to the Louisiana attorney general; passed himself off as a sociology professor and cashed over $2.5 million using fake checks—and all this before he turned twenty-one. A funny, stranger-than-fiction description of life on the run, international escapades, and inventive escapes—the novel “Catch Me If You Can” is an exciting, lively story about fraud.

The book that served as the basis for Steven Spielberg’s cult film with Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks in the leading roles is now available in audio format! Catch Me If You Can. The real adventures of the most elusive con man in the entire history of crime.

Frank Abagnale was called one of the most ingenious swindlers, hustlers, puppeteers, and check-breakers—a crook of such caliber that he could easily earn an Academy Award “Oscar.”

Frank began his “career” at age 15, for the first time by tricking his father. Then, having tasted life in cons, he started forging money checks. The best American hunters—FBI agents—and police forces across all of Europe—were searching for Frank. Hiding from pursuit, he posed as a pilot, a professor, a pediatrician, a lawyer, an assistant prosecutor, and even an FBI agent. In 5 years, Frank earned more money than people in all those professions combined could make in a lifetime.
