A petty thief is observed, and saved from arrest, by a major league
con-artist. The two strike up a partnership to pull off a once-in-a-lifetime
con trick. Their job is to sell a set of (forged) rare stamps, 'The
Nine Queens'. All goes to plan until the forgeries are stolen and
they have to set up another con trick to be able to pull off the
first one. But just how many con tricks are being pulled? And by
who on whom? The plot is layer upon layer of inter-weaving conspiracies.
Superbly scripted, well paced and totally engrossing, this is a
highly accomplished debut.
