Title: The Confidence Men
Description: Profile Books Limited, 2021. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 352. The astonishing true story of two First World War prisoners who pulled off one of the most ingenious escapes of all time. Imprisoned in a remote Turkish POW camp during the First World War, two British officers, Harry Jones and Cedric Hill, cunningly join forces. To stave off boredom, Jones makes a handmade Ouija board and holds fake séances for fellow prisoners. One day, an Ottoman official approaches him with a query: could Jones contact the spirits to find a vast treasure rumoured to be buried nearby? Jones, a lawyer, and Hill, a magician, use the Ouija board - and their keen understanding of the psychology of deception-to build a trap for their captors that will lead them to freedom. The Confidence Men is a nonfiction thriller featuring strategy, mortal danger and even high farce - and chronicles a profound but unlikely friendship. ISBN: 9781788162715. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
