Synopsis

After appraising the worth of a rich man's library—conveniently leaving his fingerprints everywhere in the process—Bernie finds he's the cops' prime suspect when his client is murdered. It’s not that used bookstore owner and part-time burglar Bernie Rhodenbarr believes the less legal of his two professions is particularly ethical. (It is, however, a rush, and he is very good at it.) He just thinks it’s unfair to face a prison term for his legitimate activities. After appraising the worth of a rich man’s library—conveniently leaving his fingerprints everywhere in the process—Bernie finds he’s the cops’ prime suspect when his client is murdered. Someone has framed Bernie Rhodenbarr better than they do it at the Whitney. And if he wants to get out of this corner he’s been masterfully painted into, he’ll have to get to the bottom of a rather artful—if multiply murderous—scam.

A fine entry in the Bernie Rhodenbarr series. Bernie is a pleasant fellow, but I wouldn't want him to drop in when I wasn't home. He might take my '54 Topps Willie Mays home with home, by accident, of course. In this one Bernie must ransom a cat and try to steal a valuable painting and solve a coupl......more

Goodreads review by Anna on April 28, 2015

This particular story was a little hard to follow, but funny and informative as usual. And talking about "as usual", just about every Bernie Rhodenbarr book I've read so far can be summed up in a few sentences... Bernie: *burgles some unlucky bastard* Some unlucky bastard: *turns up dead* Ray: Darn it,......more
