The novel is the autobiography of Frank Abagnale Jr., who was one of the most famous con-artists in the 20th Century. It tells the story from his own point of view of how he managed to cheat the system out of $2.5million with bad bank checks, but eventually served around 5 years in prison - 6 months in France, 6 months in Sweden and 4 years in the United States of a 13 and a half year sentence.
S. Spielberg turned this story into a movie with L. di Caprio as the protagonist.
