Prologue
James Jesse, aka the Trickster is a con-artist. A good one, maybe the best around.
He deceives people, lies to them and gets away with it. Sometimes, the job is pretty hard.
All the other times, it can be really easy. If he tells them what they want to hear, they´ll believe it.
Or even better, when he convinces them that he´s right, they will believe anything and will stand up for that. He read that once: If you want to levitate a stone, don´t try to levitate it. Convince it it can fly; that´s much easier.
The world is full of idiots. For him, most people are made of glass. One peek, and he knows what´s inside, what makes them tick.
Now that he´s been reading people for so long, it´s like a habit. He´s not particularly trying to read them, he does not actually want to know all things about everybody.
But sometimes, there is something different. Sometimes, some people are not made of glass; they have many facets. Like a diamond. Every time he sees that person, he discovers a new site he didn´t know before.
And Trickster is curious by nature...
