### From Booklist Londoner Harvey Jordan is a con artist who steals other people's identities and money. His occupation yields an income healthy enough to afford holidays on the Riviera, where he meets Alyce Appleton, the soon to be ex-wife of Alfred Appleton, a powerful Wall Street commodities broker. Harvey and Alyce have a brief fling and part amicably. So Harvey is doubly shocked, first, when he's named corespondent in Alyce's divorce case, and second, when he realizes he's in love with her. As the divorce case plays out in the courtroom, Harvey faces the prospect of being wiped out financially, prompting him to plan the biggest scam of his life. Despite an overabundance of courtroom scenes, and despite the fact that Harvey is as irritating as he is sympathetic, there remains plenty to like about this book, not least of which is the way Freemantle sets the narrative hook in his readers' jaws and keeps us dangling there, waiting in spite of ourselves to see how it ends. *Emily Melton* *Copyright © American Library Association.
