A Long Con Adventure
Once upon a time in Rome, Felix Salinger got caught picking his first pocket and Danny Mitchell saved his bacon. The two of them were inseparable… until they weren’t.
Twenty years after that first meeting, Danny returns to Chicago, the city he shared with Felix and their perfect, secret family, to save him again. Felix’s news network—the business that broke them apart—is under fire from an unscrupulous employee pointing the finger at Felix. An official investigation could topple their house of cards. The only way to prove Felix is innocent is to pull off their biggest con yet.
But though Felix still has the gift of grift, his reunion with Danny is bittersweet. Their ten-year separation left holes in their hearts that no amount of stolen property can fill. A green crew of young thieves looks to them for guidance as they negotiate old jewels and new threats to pull off the perfect heist—but the hardest job is proving that love is the only thing of value they’ve ever had.
Customer Reviews
The kind con men.
How does Amy Lane keep coming up with up with all these different story lines? The writing is clean and concise with a great line up of characters.
Danny has finally found his home and family. After rescuing Felix, a beautiful youth, full of life and joy in Rome, they spend years together, pulling cons, but only to those who deserve it, before they are pulled apart by circumstances. Now, after 10 years apart, Danny has returned to Felix, the love of his life.
It’s been a long, lonely time for Danny, and although he is the one who can mastermind a complicated plan, he is the who is the most vulnerable.
This is a great story with plenty of humour thrown in.
