It's difficult to review a novel like this without plot spoiling - and the plot is what con fiction is all about. Suffice to say this is an very entertaining swindle-and-revenge story, that with enough red herrings for a Vladivostok fishmongers. Sorry - but that's the sort of leaden joke that Mr Asplin sometimes uses. Indeed, the first third is rather over-written, and the main antagonist's way of speaking becomes increasingly annoying. But get past that, and the story plays out at a good pace, and the who's-fooling-who will keep you guessing 'til the last few pages. And I certainly didn't see the final twist coming. Highly enjoyable holiday fare. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Fiction.
Mystery.
Conman is the story of young Neil Martin, a kindly family man. A bit geeky, a bit nerdy. If you met him, you would assume he runs a failing comic memorabilia store in London's Soho. Which he does. In order to bail himself out of a huge stock-ruining, poster sopping basement flood, he needs to claim on his insurance. Which he would do - if he'd remembered to pay his premium. Terrified of losing everything, Neil reluctantly agrees to help Christopher -- a passing confidence trickster -- use his premises for a big sting. So the con is on and the trap is set. But things are never as they seem in the twilight world of the confidence man. And when Christopher's real target is revealed, Neil finds himself plotting, switching, swapping and scamming for revenge, for redemption. And for his life. Somewhere in the shadows, where High Fidelity meets The Usual Suspects, where David Mamet meets Ben Elton, Conman will keep you laughing, guessing and up all night until the last page is turned and the breathtaking truth is revealed.
