A million-dollar con gone wrong. A failed attempt at murder. A young girl living on the streets. In this con game, only the strongest survive.

Con artist Roxy Tanner just walked away with $2.6 million on her latest job, but left behind a dead body. Skip Cosgrove wants to help Roxy find out who killed her mark, but he has his own problems—a man the former criminologist once helped put behind bars is back for revenge. With the cops closing in on Roxy, and a killer on the hunt for Skip, the last thing they need is a gutsy street kid turning their lives upside down—until it happens. Now, all three must decide how far they will go to survive a killer’s con game.

What the pros say about Con Game

“A gripping fast-paced read, with characters you will want to see again and again!” — Deborah Crombie, New York Times Bestselling author of  ”The Sound of Broken Glass”

“Once again author Terry Ambrose has given us an original tale with a unique and different set of characters, and a murder investigation that, while it doesn’t follow conventional guidelines, yet holds the reader spellbound until the last surprising roundup of victims and perps. And once again the reader comes away wanting more.” — Lois Santalo, Midwest Book Review

“Ambrose touches on high-finance malfeasance, adultery and drug dealing with the kind of snark that will remind readers of Elmore Leonard. Given their moral nuances, Roxy and Skip are entertaining anchors for a series, and the introduction of Lily brings the promise of further complications for their relationship. . . A solid second round of capers featuring this attractive, cynical couple.” — Kirkus Reviews

About the Author
Terry Ambrose

I started out as a skip tracer. Just in case you don't know, that's the guy who finds the people who don't want to be found. It was the little things—getting paid to lie—that made skip tracing the fun part of the job. The other part of my job was to collect money from deadbeats. I must confess, I never personally stole a car, but did sometimes hire big guys with tow trucks to work in the dark and “help” when negotiations failed. Those years of chasing deadbeats taught me many valuable life lessons, such as liars come from all walks of life, and always keep your car in the garage

    I’m annoyed by that large black box that sweepstakes wants me to post to my Facebook wall but I already did and I tweeted twice, posted to my friends circle on G+(not part of sweeps) – but I see no bonus entries for FB or Twitter 🙁 Rafflecopter is better looking -no demanding black box that won’t freaking go away- and I’ve always seen me entries acknowledged immediately. #justsayin

      Hi Diane, I was trying out a new company for this contest and it looks like it may have backfired on me. Sorry for the headaches.
