📱 eBook en inglés Conman

Conman is the story of Neil Martin, a kindly family man. Geeky and nerdy, if you met him, you would assume he runs a failing comic memorabilia store in Londons Soho. Which he does. In order to bail himself out of a stock-ruining flood, he needs to claim on his insurance. Which he would do - if hed remembered to pay for it.

Terrified of losing everything - his wife, his daughter, his business and his home, Neil reluctantly agrees to let Christopher - a passing hustler - use his premises for a big sting. So the con is on and the trap is set. Neil meets Christophers crew and, as he introduces them to the world of vintage comic collectables, he is introduced to the life of the grifter: swaps, swindles and switcheroos, the colourful patter of marks, mitt fitters, cacklebladders and cold pokes.

But things are never as they seem in the twilight world of the confidence man. And when Christophers real target is revealed, Neil finds himself plotting, switching, swapping and scamming for revenge, for redemption, and for his life.

Somewhere in the shadows, where High Fidelity meets The Usual Suspects, where David Mamet meets Ben Elton, Conman will keep you laughing, guessing and up all night until the last page is turned and the breathtaking truth is revealed.
