Description

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Prey series comes a crime novel of “classic stings” (Booklist).

With the same sharp human insight he brings to the murderers and manhunters of his bestselling Prey novels, Sanford takes us into the minds of two irresistible con artists. Kidd and LuEllen are a winning pair of lovers and liars plotting the ultimate sting. Their target is the wealthy (and corrupt) mayor of a small Mississippi river town. Their setup includes buying a houseboat, assuming false identities, and exposing local scandals. Their scam is perfect. Until everything goes wrong....

    This was my first Kidd book. I already own all of the "Prey" novels including his latest....Silken Prey. I didn't find this book to be up to the same standards as the Prey series...but then I looked at the copyright and saw that it was one of his earlier works. I've bought two others that were written after 2000 and I'll expect them to be somewhat better in plot and character development.
