SynopsisWith the planned heist of a religious relic, Dortmunder, the unluckiest criminal in the world, plunges into international diplomacy with a caper for acquiring a seat on the United Nations General Assembly. But a major fiasco proves a bone of contention and forces him to come up with Plan B. Dortmunder's lucky ring is stolen in the bungled burglary of a nasty billionaire's Long Island mansion. Now, a series of raids are planned to get the ring back -- and get even., It started with a ring. A cheap ring. The yellow metal said brass, not gold, and the sparkly bits were certainly not diamonds. But the ring belonged to May's horseplaying uncle, who swore it brought good luck. Dortmunder, who wouldn't kick a little good luck out of bed, puts it to the test when he goes to burglarize Long Island billionaire Max Fairbanks. As luck would have it, Dortmunder is greeted by Fairbanks himself - and a loaded gun - as soon as he strolls through the door. When the cops arrive, the mogul adds insult to injury by claiming that Dortmunder's lucky ring is actually his. Big mistake, big guy. As soon as Dortmunder can give the cops the slip, the world's most single-minded burglar goes after the fat cat with a vengeance and a team of crooks that only he can assemble. And from the get go everything will go Dortmunder's way - everything, that is, except the ring.

funny, light and wonderful
Donald Westlake is a master at comic crime novels and the "Dortmunder" series is laugh-out-loud wonderful. I'd advise anyone who would like a little levity during this terrible time with the corona virus trying to wipe out life as we know it, to give it read.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

The best of the Dortmunder Series
This is Donald Westlake's best book in the Dortmunder Series, in my opinion. I love his sense of humor, the characters and the dialog. and his Capers are truly brilliant. So glad you had four of his books so I could get the "buy three-get one free" offer. Get more! I will buy them!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
