Sinopsis

EVEN GRIFTERS HAVE FAMILIES.
THEYÂ’RE JUST MORE COMPLICATEDÂ…
At least Dani Silver’s is . Complicated, unconventional, criminal, and –worst of all to some--downright amoral. But whathehell, family’s family.
A PREQUEL TOLD IN SHORT STORIES....
Duane Lindsay brings to life the tale of this very odd, yet affectionate kinship group in a completely original prequel, told in interconnected short stories , some of them stretching to novellas.And each one chronicling one of their cons.
At its heart, the book is the Byzantine yet surprisingly tender tale of artists in love. Con artists, that is. Meet legendary con Leroy Logan and his crime partner Kate Mulrooney, whoÂ’s known reverently in their circle as Fast Kate, an homage to her famous ability to spot a mark at a thousand paces.
LeroyÂ’s a lovable, irresponsible, untrustworthy, unfaithful lazy lug, unlucky at gambling but renowned for criminal brilliance. In other words, the quintessential bad boy.
So of course Kate loves him.
And in spite of himself, he adores her and every one of his children, especially the little redhead who grows up to be a brilliant con herself. Kate, possessed of just as fine a criminal mind, is in many ways Leroy’s opposite— sleek and glamorous, yet as solid and practical as he’s profligate.
And Dani, quite simply, is the cutest kid criminal since Tatum OÂ’Neal in PAPER MOON.
You donÂ’t realize it at first, but right from the beginning author Lindsay is laying the groundwork for the series that follows-- all the scams Kate and Leroy built on to pull off bigger cons, all the delicious insider tricks and jargon, all the sweet little ways they teach precious Dani to steal from strangers Â…
It’s naughty, hilarious, and ingenious— a great read for lovers of capers, heists, and literary criminals-- the Danny Oceans and Dormunders, even the talented Mr. Ripleys of the world—
And itÂ’ll definitely send you off to stream PAPER MOON as a chaser...M.F
