The Last Days of Vic & Coco

They call them Crown Vic and Baby Blue… From the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Atmosphere , Daisy Jones & The Six , and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo comes a daring story of two friends chasing their biggest score yet – and risking everything that holds them together. As any good hustler can tell you, every con works the same way: Identify an unsuspecting mark and gain their trust. Promise them everything they desire… and give them just enough to believe you. Then take the mark for everything they’ve got and disappear. Victoria Lucchese and Colette Wilson have been running their pool hustle for years, driving around the country and leaving overconfident men with empty wallets in their wake. The con is simple: Coco, magnetic and fearless, draws men in with her good looks and convinces them to play against her friend, Vic. Precise and unstoppable, Vic runs the table clean. Vic and Coco are the closest thing to family either one has ever had… even if they don’t know each other’s real names. But now it’s summer of 1974. Nixon is on the brink of impeachment, there’s an oil crisis, prices are soaring, jobs are scarce, and Vic and Coco are starting to feel the squeeze. Word is spreading about two women to watch out for, and they’re running out of places to hide and marks to hustle. That’s when they set in motion a plan that will bring them their biggest payday yet… or cost them everything. Sharp, seductive, and electric, The Last Days of Vic & Coco is set in the sun-and-shadows world of long desert highways, seedy motels, and dive bars. It’s the story of two women living by their wits, making their own rules, and traveling light. Even though they want different things from life, they swear they will stick together. But can you ever really trust the promises of a hustler?
