First Deceit by Henry Farley

This is the first book that seems to be the start of a series.   A pair of con-artists find themselves in a dilemma, a con gone array may end up as a financial windfall.

Jack and Elsa are the main protagonists.   They are also lovers, although, Jack seems to have a different understanding of their relationship than Elsa does.

Elsa is an exotic dancer for Roland who owns a club and has some unsavory connections.

The book ends in a cliff hanger to encourage you to read the next installment.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
