Description
Revenge is a dish best served blonde . . .
Supremely likable but untrustworthy con artist Dani Silver, fresh off an intense scam, decides on a whim to buy herself a saucy disguise and take a little vacay—a curly blonde wig and a gorgeous red dress. Not exactly inconspicuous, but Dani’s in the mood to kick up her heels.
When almost immediately, she meets a debonair and wealthy man, intrigued, she accepts his invitation to spend a few days at his mansion. But once there, she senses something off about him. Could he even be a fellow criminal?
So she snoops. And gets caught by the handsome suitor’s live-in brother.
Wrong place, wrong time—this pair has secrets they’ll kill to protect. The handsome suitor enlists his brother to brutalize Dani, dump her in a storm drain, and leave her for dead.
But of course she’s not dead. Next step—revenge!
She gets her ex-fiance to bankroll the operation, and quickly assembles her specially tailored team of con artists. With these ragtag crooks in tow, Dani devises a deliciously elaborate plan to seek revenge upon her would-be murderers.
You can tell author Lindsay studied at the feet of the masters—sometimes it seems as if he’s actually channeling Donald Westlake. Or maybe Lawrence Block. Fans of of heist books and movies too (shoutout for Ocean’s 11 movies!) will love Dani’s wry humor, shady dealings, and clever, clever cons.
