Book Summary
Skip O'Rourke is dragged into one last con . . . but he
doesn't know the con's on him in this funny, page-turning
debut YA for fans of Winger and Ocean’s Eleven.
Cameron Smith attends an elite boarding school and
has just been accepted to Princeton University alongside his
beautiful girlfriend, Claire. Life for Cameron would be
perfect, except that Cameron Smith is actually Skip
O'Rourke, and Skip O'Rourke ran away from his grifter family
four years ago...along with $100,000 of their “earnings”
(because starting a new life is not cheap). But when his
uncle Wonderful tracks him down, Skip's given an ultimatum:
come back to the family for one last con, or say good-bye to
life as Cameron.
"One last con" is easier said than
done when Skip's family is just as merciless (and just as
manipulative) as they've always been, and everyone around
him is lying. Skip may have given up on crime, but there's
one lesson he hasn't forgotten: always know your mark. And
if you don't know who your mark is . . . it's probably you.
Witty and irresistibly readable, this standout
debut will always keep you guessing.
