Bunco

By Charles Sanford

If you are a fan of the classic movie The Sting or the TV series Leverage, you'll love BUNCO.

The setting may be Little Old New York in the Glided Age, but there is nothing quaint about the elaborate scam hatched by the Jones brothers, a pair of unscrupulous bunco artists. With the help of a dissolute member of New York's elite, they intend to fleece the city's wealthiest citizens by peddling stock in a bogus oil company.

Nor is there anything quaint about the scheme devised by Thaddeus Chancellor, a morally bankrupt banker teetering on the brink of financial ruin. With the help of his unprincipled lawyer, he intends to gain control of his crippled sister's substantial fortune by bribing a crooked judge and manipulating the corrupt judicial system.

Whether it is a simple game of poker, or the heist of a fortune in bearer bonds, schemes and counter-schemes abound in this intricate tapestry of deceit and corruption.
