This might be one of the best fanfics I've read of this pairing, maybe even the best. As far as AUs go (I usually prefer fics that are canon) it was fucking brilliant.

Admittedly, there are a few inconsistencies here and there: considering that Merlin's case is a high profile case and therefore should logically be under high public scrutiny I really can't see much of that. Merlin's face should be plastererd all over the media, considering he is the murder suspect of a (mostly) highly appreciated member of the government, but apperently that isn't a problem seeig that Merlin can go shopping and the like without being recognised.

Furthermore, 

BUT, even though my review might have you thinking otherwise,this was totally worth it. Considering the fact that I any plots featuring a hustler aren't usually the books I go for, this one was bloody great. I really love the charcterisation and character development, even the writing despite the present tense. Really recommended to all and any readers out there who love a good book. And this one is even free, and best, even those who aren't familiar with the TV series "Merlin" can read this fic, it really doesn't necessarily require any background knowledge.
