The Grifter’s Daughter series is Duane Lindsay’s seven-book mystery sequence. Beginning with The Grifter’s Daughter (2017), the books follow a protagonist with a family history in the con-artist world, blending traditional mystery plotting with elements of the grifter genre.
The early books set up the central character’s complicated relationship with her con-artist family. Ghost Coach (2017) and The Blonde with the Dangerous ‘Do (2018) continue the thread, with each book introducing a new case while keeping the family dynamics simmering. After a gap, Forever… And Then Some (2021) and The Truth Lies (2021) returned the series to publication.
High Spirits (2022) and Scavenger Hunt (2022) are the most recent entries. Lindsay keeps the mystery elements traditional while the grifter angle gives the protagonist skills and moral flexibility that a standard detective would not have. Readers who enjoy mysteries with unreliable narrators and characters who play both sides will find this series interesting.
