King of Dreams

Exposure collection

By: Christie Thompson

Narrated by: Angela Dawe

This is the story of an unforgivable con man. Vulnerable families were his prey. His promise was an impossible dream and a lie.

Peter Candlewood understood the system. That’s how he could commute prison sentences and reunite hopeless families with incarcerated loved ones. For a price. Except there was no Candlewood. No hope. Just a lowly Texas con artist who bet on the desperate - and won. And he wasn’t working alone. The multimillion-dollar deception cost the betrayed more than their savings.

Christie Thompson’s King of Dreams is part of Exposure, a collection of six incredible and true stories of American double lives from millionaire CEOs and suburban teens to undercover investigators and scam artists - all for whom secrets are a way of life. Each piece can be read or listened to in a single astonished sitting.

it was... informative?

This was my first try at this collection. It's a really sad story that happened to parents with sons in jail. It was like a news report.

Well done

This is a super quick listen, and it's well done but the only thing that upsets me is I can find NOTHING online about this. I found one news piece, and I just want more details into the background of this guy.

insane

who could do that to that poor sweet lady I was shocked like WTH

inside the feels of being scamed

superb look into scams that has hurt so many and how it pulls at the hearts of those that are and were scammed

caily

The beginning of the story was excellent right when the story for me start getting good for some reason it just started to fall flat just couldn't keep my interest however I did finish it and the end it did recover my interest. I do recommend this book but it's not my first choice.
