King Con vs. The Don
Raised in a world of flimflams, come-ons and con-jobs, Beano Bates has
done so well he's earned a spot on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List. But
his lucky streak vanishes after a card game in which he scams a cool
eighty grand from a notorious Mafia don -- who retaliates by having
Beano nearly beaten to death.
For the first time in his legendary
career, Beano wants more than a big score -- he wants justice. Aided by
a beautiful, no-nonsense female prosecutor and a legion of crafty
cousins, all accomplished grifters, Beano, the king of the cons, puts
together the ultimate swindle -- a well-planned sting of strategy,
skill and deception. The target is America's most feared mob kingpin
and his psychopathic brother. And in this game, winner takes all!
