Makes you wonder how many such cons have actually occurred. ( )

This book was nothing short of captivating. Beano Bates is the star of a huge (I mean HUGE) extended family of con artists. Victoria, New York City prosecutor gets screwed (figuratively, this time) by her boss and lands on Beano's team to finally trap the bad guys. This plot is fun and fast and fantastic. It's the kind of book that is hard to put down because you don't trust the characters not to pull a fast one behind your back! ( )

Con artists have long intrigued me, and I found the abridged audio version of Stephen Cannell's book King Con to be rather entertaining. Con-man Beano Bates engineers a brilliant plan to rip off mafia don Joe Rina. Beano has strong motives; he was beaten up and his cousin Carol was murdered, all by Rina's thugs. Beano teams up with Federal prosecutor Vicky Hart in a series of scams that include a card game, jewel switch, craps cheating and finally, a brilliant scheme involving a bogus oil company. I enjoyed the cons, but was disappointed in Beano and Vicki's fairy tale ending. This work is very far from great literature, but as an abridged audio work was worth the time and few dollars I spent on it. ( )
