An award-winning advertising creative director, Craig Smith took a year off to write the Edgar-nominated Ladystinger, as well as the book’s screen adaptation, Scam, which starred Christopher Walken. Since then, he has alternated between advertising and screenwriting, with four movies produced from his scripts to date.
Beautiful young grifter Maggie Rohrer picks up rich businessmen in dark hotel bars, drugs their drinks, then lures them back to their rooms and robs them once they’ve passed out. It’s a lucrative con, until one night in New Orleans when a mark tricks her, forcing her into a dangerous swindle in Jamaica that could either bankroll a new life outside of the game…or get her killed.
