The Con Job
ByPublisher Description
The rich and powerful take what they want. We steal it back for you.
When a disreputable dealer starts swindling aged and ailing comic-book creators out of their wealth—and their high-valued comics and artwork—the daughter of one victim comes to ex-insurance investigator Nathan Ford and his team of counter-crooks for help.
Their scheme: run a con at the Comic-Con International, where the crook intends to sell the goods. But there’s more going on than simple theft. An arson plot is in motion that will not only destroy countless rare collectibles, but may end up costing lives.
With time short, the team must take down a ruthless mark whose true motives have yet to be revealed…

“I miss the tv show greatly, but at least it's now on Netflix. But before its arrival, reading this book and looking through the RPG was the only way I could get my Leverage fix. I loved this book, as it truly brought the spirit of the show to paper (or tablet screen). One can hear the voices of the characters clearly and feel like they're watching an episode. Plus, I loved the "special guest star" (no spoilers) that had me laughing out loud. Definitely planning to get the next book.”
