A Prince of Swindlers is the story of one intelligent fearless and clever scoundrel who keeps
an entire city in terror. He is an ingenious thief and a master of disguise who has conned all
of London. The thief executes a series of plans that involve him stealing a diamond necklace
arranging the theft of a horse stealing some wedding gifts misleading the profits of a
charity campaign and swimming off with a visiting royal's most refined gold plate. He uses
several schemes to fool the English upper class and comes away with millions. It's a story of
how an unexpected encounter between a conman and a British diplomat led to a series of
adventures. It's interesting and fun to read how he plans out his complex plans and always
manages to execute them. The gentleman thief is a fascinating character who often recaps his
plans to the reader in dialogue. This gave him a humorous villain quality that adds to the
story's charm. Much of the humor depicts his personality wonderfully. It's a mind-blowing story
that will meet any reader's need for thrills.
