The wrath of con

the long version

"Brie Cassiday is cursed--and a bungled safecracking job with a race against the clock to pay off her father's debt are only the beginning. Enter confidence man Josh Harlan, whose pranks and overblown ego send Brie's world spinning. Now, her only option is to join forces, and what unfolds is zany caper of unwittingly mystical proportions. Set amid the glitzy backdrop of Las Vegas, Brie and a pithy band of thieves embark on an adventure including: ninja courtesans, an unscrupulous casino magnate whose power goes far beyond money (and he's got a lot of that, too); giant birds, strippers, enchantment, crooked cops, drunk magicians, luck goddesses, and a diamond with a dark past at the center of it all. In a battle of not-quite-good versus evil, who will win? A fast-paced, supernatural-crime-comedy-bonanza... It's The Wrath of Con"--Back cover.
