Description

The rich and powerful take what they want. We steal it back for you.

When a disreputable dealer starts swindling aged and ailing comic-book creators out of their wealth—and their high-valued comics and artwork—the daughter of one victim comes to ex-insurance investigator Nathan Ford and his team of counter-crooks for help.

Their scheme: run a con at the Comic-Con International, where the crook intends to sell the goods. But there’s more going on than simple theft. An arson plot is in motion that will not only destroy countless rare collectibles, but may end up costing lives.

With time short, the team must take down a ruthless mark whose true motives have yet to be revealed…

    It's been a mixed couple of weeks with the TV show ending but it did go out with a bang and now we've finally got a series of novels. Much as I loved the show, I did wonder if it would stretch to novel-length stories but it does and this one flies by. The con is more involved and detailed than there would've been time for in the show but it feels as if you're watching an episode. A longer and richer episode, but an episode: it's captured the characters and the whole flair and verve that made the series so entertaining.
