What you need to know before your trail

Quinn Le Blanc, London’s most talented con woman, has five days to pull off the seemingly impossible: trick an eligible duke into marriage and lift a fortune from the richest family in England.

Masquerading as a wealthy debutante, Quinn is the jewel of the season. Her brilliant act opens doors to the grand drawing rooms and lavish balls of high society – and propels her into the inner circle of her target: the corrupt, charismatic Kendals.

But as she spins in and out of their world, Quinn becomes tangled in a dangerous web of love, lies and loyalty. The Kendal family all have secrets of their own, and she may not be the only one playing a game of high deception…

Travel Guide

London

The perfect place for a game of cards or a con trick! There are theatres, music halls and gambling dens here and the main one in the city is Chateau in Princelet Street/Fournier Street.

Soho and Shaftesbury Avenue are places where things happen and where memories walk the streets. This London is full of hansom cabs and men in top hats. This London is brilliantly evoked as that of a different time. When the people who work in the shadows want to  mix with those in high society places such as Buckingham Palace.
