<p><b>Skip O'Rourke is dragged into one last con . . . but he doesn't know the con's on him in this funny pause-resisting debut YA for fans of <i>Winger </i>and <i>Ocean's Eleven</i> now nominated for the Edgar Award and the International Thriller Writers Award.</b></p><p>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 $100000 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.</p><p>'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.</p><p>Witty and irresistibly listenable this standout debut will always keep you guessing.</p>
