Only When I Larf Book

The three confidence tricksters - two blokes and a bird - had a style that earned them millions. Silas was the leader slick and self-assured -- but dissatisfied. Bob was the junior partner longing for the open road where pickings were rich and the living was easy. And Liz Silas' mistress was! in between. Theirs was a built-in love triangle with its own rewards! and its own dangers. In New York these con-artists do a 'business deal' worth millions. But back in London Silas' plan to bilk an emergent African nation misfires. Then Bob takes over the running of the operation -- and Liz. A Beirut bank is their target and each member of the trio gets what he or she deserves -- each with a twist of lemon. This new reissue includes a foreword from the cover designer Oscar-winning filmmaker Arnold Schwartzman and a brand new introduction by Len Deighton which offers a fascinating insight into the writing of the story.Read More
