The Confidence Games By Tess Amy

In this exhilarating caper by a promising new author, Emma Oxley and Nellie Yarrow, lifelong partners in crime, embark on their most daring heist yet. Reinventing themselves and leaving behind digital traces, they thrive on adventure, street cons, and testing their skills against worthy targets—men who, in their view, deserve to be swindled.

Their carefully crafted reputation as trustworthy swindlers on the European black market is put to the ultimate test when they are blackmailed into stealing a priceless bracelet from a heavily guarded exhibit in London. For Emma, this heist becomes more than just another thrill-seeking escapade—it forces her to confront deep-seated beliefs and question the moral boundaries of their con game.

As they navigate the high-stakes world of London's elite, Emma and Nellie must forge unlikely alliances and rely on their wit and charm to outmaneuver not only the security measures guarding the bracelet but also the dangerous forces threatening their lives. The glittering backdrop of a lavish gathering provides a stark contrast to the perilous predicament they find themselves in, adding layers of tension and intrigue to their mission.

The novel promises a rollercoaster ride of suspense, moral dilemmas, and unexpected twists as Emma and Nellie race against time to pull off the heist, protect themselves, and perhaps even uncover surprising truths about their own identities and motivations. It's a tale that blends the adrenaline rush of a high-stakes theft with the complexities of loyalty, deception, and the pursuit of justice in a world where trust is a commodity to be earned and betrayed. 📚❤️
