In this third and final story, Robinโs attempt at a simple caper goes wildly wrong when her father appears on the scene and turns her world upside down. Mark Parsons is Robinโs bugaboo, the voice in her head she canโt silence. Though she admits he taught her things that are useful to the gang, thatโs no credit to his parenting. Heโs the kind of person who wouldโand did--use his own children to further his money-grubbing schemes.
Now Mark has a new con in mind, and he forces Robin to help by threatening Camโs life. Soon the rest of the gang is sucked into Markโs web too. Robin is fully aware that her father would sacrifice any of them, even her, to get what he wants, which at the moment is a large chunk of kindly old Harry Robesonโs money. Running the con is the only way Robin can save Cam and maybeโฆmaybe get her whole gang through this. Still, itโs hard when the person you have to outsmart to save the day is your own father.
