In this “furiously funny” new novel from Donald Westlake, career thief John Dortmunder is back to steal a fleet of vintage cars from a corrupt CEO (New York Times).

The con is on. The mark is Monroe Hall, a CEO who lavished more of his company’s money on himself than the boys at Enron and WorldCom combined.

The loot? A fleet of vintage automobiles that would leave the Sultan of Brunei blushing.

The catch? Trying to outsmart a collection of angry union men who’ve been taken for a ride and blue-blooded suckers who’ve been taken for their family fortunes.

But if Dortmunder and his merry band of crooks are to drive off with the loot, they’ll have to act fast — before they get caught in a deadly crossfire.
