Sam Marsh’s beloved Palm Springs hotel is hanging on by a string. Sam is running out of funds and he’s looking down the barrel of a prospect he doesn’t want to imagine, selling his stake to his ex-wife. When his friend, Tony, suggests a Nigerian multi-million-dollar deal, Sam forgets that deals that seem too good to be true often are.

In Duped, a novel of high-stake schemes, suspense and sex, Sam and Tony travel to Nigeria to arrange the movement of $37 million to Switzerland. Between his dealings with the nefarious Dr. Kidogo and his run-in with an American lout, who’s in Lagos to carry out his own scam, Sam doubts whether the profit he stands to earn is worth it, especially with a new woman in his life, the beautiful and enigmatic Dina.
