By Guy Boothby

In the glittering drawing rooms and shadowed corridors of a restless empire, one man reigns supreme—not by birthright, but by brilliance. In A Prince of Swindlers, Guy Boothby introduces a criminal of rare charm and audacity, a master strategist who turns society’s vanity and greed into instruments of his art.

Elegant, daring, and always one step ahead, the “Prince” moves effortlessly among the wealthy and powerful, weaving deceptions so intricate that even his victims admire the skill with which they are undone. Yet behind the polished manners and calculated risks lies a dangerous truth: in a world obsessed with status and fortune, the greatest illusion may be respectability itself.

Fast-paced and irresistibly clever, this classic tale of high-stakes fraud and psychological intrigue remains as entertaining—and unsettling—today as when it first captivated readers.
