Review:
"Brilliantly entertaining" (The Times)
"A terrifically enjoyable second novel...lyrical and hilarious, bleak and funny, with a love of history balanced against a rippingly clever plot" (Daily Telegraph)
"Beautifully and vividly described... the depiction of the era and the place seem spot on... This is a terrific novel - complex but fun, philosophical but sharp, perceptive but ambiguous...you're happy just to be along for the thrilling ride" (Sunday Herald)
"Ferguson's comic picaresque is a delight" (Financial Times)
"Ferguson fills his pages with fascinating historical detail and lovingly described cons. His lengthy descriptions of scams are enthralling, funny and perhaps even educational" (Guardian)
