CRAZY RICH ASIANS meets THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, with a dash of GOSSIP GIRL, in this dazzling debut novel.

For as long as she can remember, Samantha Song has dreamed of having her own byline in a high-society magazine. But the death of her father and the constant struggle to help her mum make ends meet make her dream feel like a distant fantasy. Instead, she finds herself working at a drab PR firm, living vicariously through her socialite co-worker Anya Chen.

Then she meets Timothy Kingston: the disillusioned son of one of Singapore's elite families, and Sam's one chance at infiltrating the high society world of which she desperately wants to belong. To Sam's surprise, Tim and Anya both agree to help her make a name for herself in Singapore's socialite scene. But the borrowed designer clothes and plus-ones to every party and major event can only get her so far; the rest is on Sam.

But the deeper she goes, the more she fears being exposed. And with an anonymous reporter on the prowl for high-society gossip, Sam must scramble to reconcile her pretence with who she really is before she loses it all.

Packed full of glitz and glamour, food and fashion and heaps of heart, THE FRAUD SQUAD is perfect for fans of Kevin Kwan and Lauren Ho.
