I am looking for an adjective to describe things or schemes that are not completely legal or socially allowed, like ''shady games''.

Thank you

How about swindle or racket?

Is scam too strong?

Thank you Vorpar and Alan.

Actually, it's about a husband cheating on his wife. So, I am looking for a word that would describe that he is acting strangely because he has something to hide, if you know what I mean. So this would be ''his ? games" or whatever word would fit.
