As the staged homecoming draws gawking reporters and wealthy curiosity-seekers, the con men’s planted servant whispers of a vast, forgotten cellar brimming with rare wines and whiskies. A syndicate of eager millionaires quickly scrambles to buy the property, confident they can snatch the liquid gold before the old man destroys it. But as the deal nears its climax, the tricksters discover that their fictional treasure may be more real than they imagined—and that the law is closing in faster than a Chicago winter.
With wit and razor-sharp scheming, they must navigate a plot where the line between bluff and reality blurs, and the biggest score could prove the most dangerous.
