À propos de cet e-book
Skip O’Rourke thought he had escaped his con-artist family for good . . . until they show up and threaten everything unless he works “one last con.” But can he trust them to keep their word when his family members are some of the most manipulative, backstabbing people on earth?
“Taylor’s comedic crime novel entertains with its madcap, rapid-fire antics.”—Publishers Weekly
“Readers who enjoy criminal-caper stories with plots so convoluted they are never sure who is on whose side will enjoy this adventure.”—VOYA
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, Thieving Weasels will always keep you guessing.
