|summary=This novel won Canada's version of the Booker Prize. As far I can tell, it was a completely deserving winner. This is what happens when great writing and great story collide.

Will Ferguson seems to have a liking for con games. His 2007 novel, [[Hustle by Will Ferguson|Hustle]] (published as ''Spanish Fly'' in Canada), followed a pair of 1930 short con grifters and their willing protege. However, in his Giller Prize (Canada's equivalent to the Booker Prize) winning novel ''419'', Ferguson comes right up to date and focuses on a longer con, one which many of us will be aware of.
