Ed McBain: The Con Man

From the Publisher:
A trickster taking money from an old woman for his own private charity. A cheater fleecing the businessmen of their thousands with the oldest gimmick in town. A lady-killer after the ladies' dollars with just a little bit of love...

The guys of the 87th Precinct thought they knew every trick in the book - so why are there bodies still washing up on the shore?

The Con Man: handsome, charming - and deadly.
