Overview

���� From the award-winning author of Spinning on a Barstool (Gold - Memoir, Silver - Overall Nonfiction, 2023 Reader Views Literary Awards) Spun Off a Barstool Series-Book 2 SPUN-A standalone sequel. He conned 32 police officers. When he was released from prison, he came for a waitress. He picked the wrong one. The problem with being conned is that it feels perfectly reasonable-while it's happening. Glenda wanted more than an ordinary life. Stepping beyond the safety of her small world, she walked through a door she believed was opening to possibility: a charismatic philanthropist, a world of generosity, a chance to make real change. Instead, she found herself staring at a headline: FINANCIAL PREDATOR Nothing about Daryl-his past, his promises, or his power-was what it seemed. He built trust, told the right stories, and used them to take what wasn't his. What began as friendship became something the justice system refused to take up-leaving Glenda with one option: To warn people herself. A high-school dropout sets out to write a book-not for revenge, but to protect others when no one else will. Through a series of haunting vignettes, SPUN follows Daryl's evolution-from boy to predator-as he shape-shifts, charms, deceives, and disappears-circling one chilling question: What kind of person can deceive the people closest to him-and keep walking free? A psychological true crime memoir about manipulation, trust, and the quiet precision of a long con. Told with the pacing of a thriller and the honesty of lived experience, SPUN shows how ordinary people are drawn into extraordinary deception-and what it takes to face it, survive it, and speak about it. This isn't just a story. It's a warning. For readers of My Friend Anna, The Confidence Game, Bad Blood, and the psychological intensity of Baby Reindeer. If you're starting here, you can begin with SPUN. If you want to see how it began, read Book 1-Spinning on a Barstool.
