Description

New York, 1968. Two businessmen are about to lose their shirts, thanks to one of the finest capers ever devised. And who's behind it all? An unlikely trio of con artists: middle-aged Silas, with an upper-crust accent and impeccable military record; the beautiful Liz, his lover; and his young streetwise apprentice, Bob. Money in hand, the three are off to London, this time to bilk a would be African dictator by selling him nonexistent arms. When somehow the plan backfires, Bob sees a chance not only to take over the operation but to win the heart of the fair Liz. There's a bank in Beirut just waiting for a scam and Bob draws up a brilliant plan. But has he thought of everything? --Book jacket.
