Synopsis

(By day, he sells books in his Greenwich Village store; by night, he's a master of illegal entry. This time Bernie doesn't do the burglary, but one painting worth a quarter of a million, two corpses and a very clever frame-up put him top of the wanted list.)

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

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.
