In this exquisitely observed collection of stories, the tables are turned on those used to getting their own way. A confidence trickster's victim proves to be less gullible than he seems. An art swindler discovers that his protégé has a few tricks of his own. And an Army officer hoping to run his new bride and his former lover in tandem receives a nasty shock. In the tradition of Saki and Roald Dahl, Man Overboard satirises the behaviour of the rich and powerful to deliciously comic effect.
