En savoir plus sur le livre

Boston PI Spenser and his ally Hawk pursue a con man in the latest installment of the iconic crime series. Connie Kelly fell for M. Brooks Welles, a silver-haired charmer she met online, believing him to be a CIA operative. After giving him nearly three hundred thousand dollars, she finds herself betrayed when both he and her money vanish. Desperate for help, Connie turns to her therapist, Dr. Susan Silverman, who suggests Spenser. Welles had been a frequent commentator on national news, but his abrupt disappearance leaves behind a jilted lover, angry investors, duped law enforcement, and vengeful paramilitary contractors. As Spenser investigates, he uncovers the truth: Welles's identity, résumé, and client list are all fabrications. The challenge lies in keeping the con artist alive long enough to recover Connie's money. The search takes Spenser from Boston to rural Georgia, where he enlists the help of trusted friends Hawk and Teddy Sapp to ensure Welles's next scheme is his last. The stakes are high, and the deception runs deep as Spenser navigates a web of lies to bring justice to those wronged.
