To his friends, to his coworkers, and even to his mistress, Moira, Roy Dillon can be an honest, hardworking salesman. He lives in a cheap hotel just within his pay bracket. He goes to work every day. He has hundreds of friends and affiliates who could verify his good character. Yet hidden behind three gaudy clown paintings in Roy's pallid hotel room sits $52,000 - the amount of money Roy makes from his brief negative aspects, his "grifting". For a long time, Roy has naturally retained control over his house-of-cards life - before simplest con should go wrong, and he finds himself critically hurt and susceptible to the most dangerous woman he ever found: his own mother. The Grifters, among the best novels ever discussed the fine art of the con, can be an ingeniously crafted report of deception and betrayal that was the foundation for Stephen Frears' and Martin Scorsese's critically acclaimed film of the same name.
