A Nest of Vipers

Cato Hopkins is the youngest member of Mother Hopkins's 'family' — a group of skilled fraudsters and pickpockets.

But old age is slowing Mother Hopkins down, and she wants to carry out one last con, a con to outdo all the cons that have gone before. And so the gang set about bringing ruin upon Captain Walker, a proud and cruel slave captain, who deserves to be taught a lesson or two . . .
