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. So 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 transfer of $37 million to Switzerland. However, Sam questions whether the stakes are worth it-between dealings with the nefarious Dr. Kidogo and run-in with an American lout who is in Lagos to carry out his own scam. Is it worth risking it all, especially with a new woman in his life, the beautiful and enigmatic Dina?
