AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'"Lying Cheating Bastard" is the intriguing tale of a young man being drawn into the seedy underbelly of Sydney, the story of infamous con-man Jimmy Garcia aka the Cricket, and how he became the most successful con-man in Australia by the age of 27.

'Part mystery, part coming-of-age story, part demonstration of the finer arts of trickery, "Lying Cheating Bastard" is the extraordinary story of Jimmy's induction into the murky world of gangsters and grift.'
