The con artist in Ritter’s novel is a young woman with a murky past and visions of absconded riches who is ensnared in an elaborate swindle that recalls David Mamet at his most labyrinthine.

But however frustrating the series can be — and some will not find it frustrating at all — Khan and Bradford write funny dialogue, and Hsu and Mamet are very, very funny delivering it.

David Mamet might know how to make the most of a character like Joan Rivers, an entertainment hero and antihero, whose story was an American one of success at any cost.
