SynopsisThe con is on. Prewitt Patry is an expert in European art and antiquities, and he used to be the best con artist in New York City. But fate has left him divorced and broke, with his glory days behind him. Then a golden opportunity falls into his lap. Ranger du Courtemanche is the aging patriarch of the centuries-old French aristocratic Courtemanche family. The family resides in their ancestral chateau and they haven't been outside the property in years. Enter Prewitt, who cozies up to the reclusive family--Ranger and his two sisters--and warns them that their chateau and wealth have been targeted by an obscure secret society. Panicked and desperate, Ranger enlists Prewitt in the fight to defend his family's honor and fortune. Et voilà! The trap is set. With his team of eccentric Parisian con artists, Prewitt gets to work.
