Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Ferguson fills his pages with fascinating historical detail and lovingly described cons. His lengthy descriptions of scams are enthralling, funny, and perhaps even educational.”
—Guardian (London)
“An eminently readable novel…a work of impressive energy and grandeur.”
—Globe and Mail (Toronto)
“Shows a flair for historical detail and pop culture.”
—Montreal Gazette
“A terrific book, lyrical and hilarious, bleak and funny, with a love of history balanced against a rippingly clever plot.”
—Telegraph (London)
“Would make a good movie…in the tradition of The Sting and The Grifters.”
—Observer (London)
“The dialogue is razor-sharp and laced with dry wit…This is a terrific novel—complex but fun, philosophical but sharp, perceptive but ambiguous.”
—Sunday Herald (Glasgow)
