A city on the edge. A con man with one last trick up his sleeve.Natural disasters are threatening California, but for recovering con man Jack McCoul, the real danger isn't under the earth-it's in the halls of power. When a ruthless coalition of greedy developers and corrupt politicians orchestrates a massive conspiracy to sell off the heart and soul of San Francisco to the highest bidder, Jack gets caught in the crossfire. Suddenly, he's dodging professional hitmen and navigating a labyrinth of high-level blackmail, corporate greed, and cold-blooded murder.
To expose the crooks and save his beloved city, playing nice is out of the question. Jack must assemble his loyal crew of Bay Area misfits to pull off the biggest, most dangerous counter-con of his life. Can he out-maneuver the bullets and the bureaucrats before the city crumbles? The clock is ticking, the fault lines are splitting, and it's time to find out who will survive the shake-up.
