   Summary

   Aventurine is a con artist draped in charm and calculated risk, he’s built his empire on lies so elegant they pass for truth. No name he uses is real. No loyalty he offers is genuine. And no one has ever managed to pin him down long enough to see what lies underneath.

   Enters Dr. Ratio, a man of logic in a world ruled by corruption, Ratio doesn’t believe in luck, only patterns, probabilities, and the inevitability of human error. And when Aventurine’s trail of perfectly executed crimes begins to form something intentional, he takes it personally.
