The Long Con
An El Gardener Omnibus
By T C Parker
Ocean's 11 meets Widows in '90s London
Grifter, con-artist, inside-woman… call her what you want, El’s never said no to a heist.
But when an old friend and a new crew come calling with an offer she can’t refuse, El finds herself stalking her most ruthless mark yet – one vicious and corrupt enough to test her skills to the limit and plunge her headlong into a world of violence, corruption and murder.
A fast-paced crime cocktail blending elements of Widows, Ocean’s 11 and The Usual Suspects with the 90s nostalgia of The Place Beyond The Pines, THE LONG CON will wrap its hand around your throat from the very first page – and won’t let go until you’re gasping for breath.
