From the Back Cover: You will follow ten generations, over a four-hundred-year period of disingenuous and scheming men, shrewd and capable women. Beginning in 1642, by the rough and grimy waterfront of Liverpool, England with the birth of one of the 'founders' of the family Rakúsko - Toomaas (Sweet Tommy) Rakúsko - to the last living relative, in her two-story penthouse overlooking New York's Central Park, in the year 2028. You will meet a family of scoundrels, charlatans, grifters, swindlers, con men and women. They will charm you out of everything you own - literally. They know how to hoodwink the naïve, double-cross those who go looking for something for nothing, and cheat anyone and everyone, even each others, just...because...they can. You'll instantly like and cheer for some of them and almost as quickly dislike some of the others, but you will care about what happens to each...and every...one...of them. You will not be able to put this down, from the very first pages...guaranteed!
