Together they form a formidable duo, playing for the highest stakes, pulling off the most ambitious con of the lot - The Unhappy Virgin Game. Fleecing wealthy fools is the name of the game but when the sums involved get to the levels seen in Long White Con , the consequences of any slip can be fatal.Like all of Iceberg Slim''s work, Long White Con takes the reader into a world rarely seen in print, combining wicked humour with streetwise knowledge and philosophy. The result is another page-turning classic of hard-boiled fiction.

Maggy Thorsen and her beau Jake Pavlik find themselves plunged into a real-life mystery as baffling as any Agatha Christie classic It''s November and Maggy Thorsen, co-owner of the Wisconsin gourmet coffeehouse, Uncommon Grounds, is in South Florida at an annual crime-writers'' conference with her beau, local sheriff Jake Pavlik, who is due to speak as a ''forensics expert''. Maggy''s pledge to behave solely as a tourist becomes trickier than she anticipated when the conference''s opening night event turns out to be a re-enactment of Agatha Christie''s classic, Murder on the Orient Express. As Maggy and Jake reluctantly set off on the night train to the Everglades to solve the ''crime'', it''s clear that, as in the original novel, nothing is quite what it seems. And amidst rumours of careers taken, manuscripts stolen and vows broken, it seems that in the Everglades - as in life - the predator all too often becomes the prey.

Still, the disgraced author is an important talent, and Ambler''s never been afraid of a fight.Ambler''s ready for the controversy that greets news of the acquisition. He''s not ready, however, for what he finds when he finally receives the papers: a gripping unpublished short story apparently based on a real case, with an explosive author''s note. If it''s true, there''s been a shocking coverup at the heart of the NYPD - and a cop has got away with murder. If it''s true. Ford''s not talking, and Ambler''s good friend Mike Cosgrove, a veteran NYPD homicide detective, is beyond skeptical. But as the pair investigate, they''re drawn into the sordid underbelly of 1990s New York, packed with renegade cops, thugs and mobsters . . . and they''ll be lucky to come back out alive.
