The Confidence Games

Brought to you by Penguin.

There are two rules: We only target men. And only men who deserve it.

Two female con artists must pull off the ultimate heist in this fun, fresh and twisty crime novel for fans of How to Kill Your Family and Killing Eve.

‘They called us swindlers, fraudsters, tricksters, cheats. But make no mistake: we never crossed anyone who didn’t deserve it’

Emma Oxley and Nellie Yarrow have been inseparable their whole lives. Ever since they reinvented themselves, changing their names and wiping clean their digital footprints, they have made a game of following wherever the next adventure leads and challenging themselves to thefts, street cons, and mind games.

Adhering to only two rules—they will only con men, and only ones who deserve it—Emma and Nellie are secure in their reputation as the most trustworthy swindlers on the European black market. Until suddenly, they must play to save their own lives.

Blackmailed into stealing a priceless bracelet from a high-security exhibit, Emma will reexamine everything she believed to be true. This heist takes her far beyond her comfort zone and she and Nellie will need allies among the glitzy bejeweled gathering in London in order to survive. But will they be able to do the right thing before it’s too late?

A story of female friendship, found family, and how one woman rediscovers her self-confidence.
