The Crooks and The Cons is a mesmerizing story that takes us inside the equally corrupt worlds of Buffalo's D.A.'s office, and the crooked underworld where one woman controls it all. After being tied to the streets for twenty-five years, a cunning and wise Sky Waters has finally escaped her life of crime. Murders, lies, deceit, and betrayal on the streets of Ruff-Buff, Buffalo, New York. The streets had made her rich, giving Sky both power, and respect. Sky is good at everything, but her best gift yet was her ability to deceive. Swindling her way in and out of everything--even getting away with murder, Sky decided to walk away. Sky has spent the last ten years living in silence and sworn secrecy, but a knock at her door changes her life when she is face to face with four men in suits. They are determined to leak secrets from her past if she doesn't cooperate. Sky finds herself set to help uncover an organized crime-ring ran by Buffalo's district attorney, Pat Patterson. Betrayal is served with a deadly kiss when the child Sky gave up for adoption, risks her own life in an attempt to bring down the mother that abandoned her. Love turns to hate the day Lacy Fowler lands an intern gig in the D.A.'s office. Filled with deadly turns and fast curves, The Crooks And The Cons is a compelling ride through the halls of politics and the underworld. Angela Stanton has penned a page-turner that will leave readers in complete awe.
