The Safe Game

Wes Verde

New Jersey, 1928.The Cons - Roy, Urbane, and Victoria - made a living by separating fools from their money and rarely stayed in one place for too long. Keeping food in their bellies and a roof over their head often meant hopping from one game to the next, barely keeping ahead of the law or poverty. Sometimes both.That was until the day Roy, the Idea Man, smelled a big score; one that would put the Cons on easy street. No more scraping by. No more cold nights with an empty belly or picking pockets in desperation. Maybe even enough to get them out of this life for good.When a tragic death brings the law uncomfortably close, the Cons' luck threatens to run out and it's anyone's guess whether this particular game will end in luxury, a jail cell, or an early grave.
