The novel is a departure from Melville's previous works, showcasing his versatility as a writer and his deep understanding of moral ambiguity in society. 'The Confidence-Man' is a thought-provoking and intellectually stimulating read that will leave readers contemplating the very nature of trust and ethics in human relationships.
