<b>This witty novel of a con man on the run, from the author of <i>To Catch a Thief</i>, “ends with a gratifying twist” (<i>Publishers Weekly</i>).</b><br>  <br> When a handsome swindler working the French Riviera meets a beautiful heiress on the beach at Cannes, sparks fly. But so do bullets—and soon he’s forced to flee the country with both the police and the heiress on his trail.<br>  <br> From the casinos of Monaco to the jungles of Brazil, from Tangier to Marrakech to Peru, the chase is on. And not even a veteran of Monte Carlo’s baccarat tables would dare to place odds on where it will end . . .<br>  <br> “A master hand at dangers and hair-raising near misses.” —<i>San Francisco Chronicle</i><br>  <br> “The pulp era may have been over, but Dodge was still writing like it was in full swing, peppering the story with snappy patter. . . . Great fun.” —<i>Booklist</i>
