The Grafters is a novel written by Francis Lynde. The story revolves around a group of men who are known as ''grafters''. These men are experts in the art of swindling and cheating people out of their money. The main character, John Burkett, is a young man who is trying to make a name for himself in this world of grafting. However, he soon realizes that the life of a grafter is not as glamorous as he once thought. He becomes involved in a dangerous scheme that could cost him everything he has worked for. Along the way, he meets a woman named Mary Thorne, who is also involved in the world of grafting. Together, they try to navigate the dangerous world of grafting and find a way to survive. The Grafters is a thrilling novel that explores the dark side of human nature and the lengths that people will go to in order to get what they want. It is a gripping tale of love, betrayal, and redemption that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.For the moment while the train was hammering in over the switches they stood facing each other fiercely, all masks flung aside, each after his kind; the younger man flushed and battle-mad; the elder white, haggard, tremulous. Kent did not guess, then or ever, how near he came to death. Two years earlier a judge had been shot and maimed on a western circuit and since then, MacFarlane had taken a coward’s precaution. Here was a man that knew, and while he lived the cup of trembling might never be put aside.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
