Nominated for the prestigious 2010 CWA Silver Dagger honor, Conman is the storyplot of young Neil Martin, a kindly family man. A lttle bit geeky, a little nerdy. In the event that you met him, you'll assume he works a failing comic memorabilia store in London's Soho. Which he will. In order to bail himself out of an enormous stock-ruining, poster sopping cellar flood, he needs to declare on his insurance. Which he'd do - if he'd appreciated to pay his top quality. Terrified of sacrificing everything - his better half Jane, his girl, his business, his home - and worried to seem the dumb, working-class pleb that Jane's dad always needed him for, Neil reluctantly agrees to help Christopher, a passing self-assurance trickster, use his premises for a large sting. So the con is on and the capture is set. Neil satisfies Christopher's staff and, as he introduces those to the world of the classic comic collectable, he is introduced to the life span of the grifter. The swaps, swindles and switcheroos. The colourful patter of marks, mitt fitters, cacklebladders and cold pokes. But things should never be as they appear in the twilight world of the self-assurance man. And when Christopher's real goal is disclosed, Neil finds himself plotting, switching, swapping and scamming for revenge, for redemption. And then for his life. Somewhere in the shadows, where High Fidelity satisfies THE MOST COMMON Suspects, where David Mamet satisfies Ben Elton, Conman will keep you laughing, speculating and up through the night until the last page is transformed and the amazing truth is disclosed. Richard Asplin is the author of two earlier books, T-Shirt & Genes and Gagged - A Thriller With Jokes. He is a fan of mid-period Woody Allen videos, Richard Dawkins, David Mamet, Elvis Presley, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, TEXAS HOLD EM, classic guitars and his cat. Richard presently lives in London
