NEVER CHEAT AN HONEST MAN—IF
YOU'RE LUCKY ENOUGH TO FIND ONE.
Notorious but lovable con artist Dani Silver is fresh off yet another successful, rollicking scam when she receives a curious email. Some tipster says he’s got a lead on a million-dollar bottle of whiskey—and would Dani mind teaming up to snag it?
Well, no—since her informant has no idea where it is, she’d rather do it herself.
It seems the museum quality hooch has been appropriated from the original collectors, who would pay a handsome ransom—if not full price—to get it back. At the cost of a mere $20,000, Dani hires the finest criminal artists money can buy, counterfeits the distinctive bottle, and fills it with supermarket booze, knowing it’ll never be opened.
But those collectors, who own a private museum, are “America’s Sweethearts" — one’s a picture-perfect film star, the other a nationally treasured children’s book author. And therein lies a grifter’s dilemma.
Dani—giving in to pressure from her clean-living sweetie—has taken a vow never to cheat an honest mark. Which would make this an ineligible con. But no problem, her work’s cut out for her—find out all their dirty little secrets
and move on to the jackpot.
Sound like fun? Lindsay’s wit and endlessly devious imagination make it practically a carnival ride.
Join totally unreliable protagonist Dani Silver and her crack team on yet another gripping thriller—complete with the author’s trademark twists and turns. Fans of Donald Westlake, who pioneered the caper comedy, will love this, along with fans of all heist movies and series. Having fun with Money Heist? This one’s lighter and brighter—more like The Imposters.
Genre: Mystery
