A French Finish

by Robert Ross

A Harvard graduate and his girlfriend, looking to make a fast buck, enlist one of his ex-professors to set up a fake-antique-furniture scam. This quickly brings them to the attention of organized crime bosses who already control this field. How they turn the tables on the villains and hit it rich is told wittily and leads to a satisfying conclusion.

A really fun book to reads. Hard to believe that this was a first novel. Winning an Edgar for first novel was very much deserved.
