Description
In this gripping true crime narrative, Pamela Colloff exposes the devastating impact of a master manipulator who preyed on the justice system and innocent lives. For decades, Paul Skalnik crafted elaborate deceptions, posing as various professionals and conning his way through life while exploiting those around him. His most insidious scheme involved fabricating confessions from fellow inmates, a tactic that ultimately helped send Jim Dailey to death row for a murder he didn't commit. Colloff's meticulous reporting unravels a dark tale of a remorseless liar whose deceit was enabled by a system prioritizing convictions over truth, leaving a trail of ruined lives in its wake.
