Hmmm . . . off the top of my head I can't think of any. Although in terms of female con artists, the book I was recently reading but didn't get very far in -- The Lies of Locke Lamora -- was implying that there had been a female member of their con-artist team who was missing. I don't know if she ends up playing a major role in the book or not.
There are certainly female liars in Pride and Prejudice (Bingley's sisters). I would say that Livia in I, Claudius is a masterful liar and schemer. In Maledicte, the protagonist is a liar, criminal, and murderer (she is also sort of transsexual, so I don't know if you would count her).
I'll keep thinking to see if I can come up with anything else.
