Former NYT Reporter turned full time writer Margalit Fox zoomed in from the ether to tell us all about her latest narrative non-fiction book Confidence Men, a true story involving two prisoners of war (WWI) who elaborately conned their captors into facilitating their escape by way of a make-shift ouija board and a few well staged seances.
