When a dear friend in straitened circumstances reveals that her mother has been spending money they can’t afford on thrice weekly visits to the medium Madame Ophelia, Elizabeth, musing that conning another con artist might be fun, enlists her brother, Jake, and her father in a plan to expose the medium and recover at least some of the money she and her confederates have collected through their nefarious schemes. But sometimes she uses her skills, and those of others in her father’s network, for a good cause. Her former life as a grifter is a closely held family secret. Now that she’s married socialite lawyer Gideon Bates, Elizabeth Miles has taken an elevated place in New York’s post–World War I society. One group of con artists vies with another in an epic battle.
