Gorodish and Alba are back in a new ingeniously intricate adventure! Nana reveals how this outrageous Parisian couple met, fell in love, and teamed up to become the most off-the-wall pair of con artists to star in their own dramatic series.Serge Gorodish, burned out, middle-aged classical pianist turned con artist, travels to a small provincial town to compose himself after an unleasant brush with the Paris police and to make some mony at his true vocation – bilking the corrupt and assisting the innocent. Seizing opportunity as it presents itself, Gorodish builds a blackmail dossier on the town’s bigwigs that becomes his portfolio for financial recovery. He has to parry the nasty advances of the Vampires, a local motorcycle gang whose speciality is random violence, but his pains are rewarded when he discovers Alba, a thirteen year-old Botticelli angel who makes her own fun at a high society tea with a dose of LSD and her trusty Instamatic. When Alba’s love of mischief meshes with Gorodish’s blackmail scheme, it is love at first crime.
