The Hot RockBy Donald E. Westlake
Mysterious Press, 1970. 304 pgs. Mystery
John Dortmunder, recently released from prison, receives an offer to steal the famed Balabomo Emerald for a United Nations African Ambassador. He gathers a team of eccentric criminals to help pull off the heist. Just when they think their plan is perfect, things start to go awry and hilarity ensues.
Westlake’s humor makes this an enjoyable, lighthearted caper that keeps you guessing if Dortmunder’s team will ever succeed.
