About this book

Summary

Carter Vale abides by one rule: everyone’s running a con, the trick is running yours better. A smooth-talking man with a silver tongue, an hustler and a moral compass that never points north. Carter thinks he’s seen every kind of scam. Until a mysterious woman named Evelyn Cross hires him to recover a stolen painting worth millions. Fast-paced, darkly funny, and laced with twists, The Confidence Game is a slick modern thriller about deception, survival, and the thin line between trickster and target.
