Summary

It would take a miracle to keep Dortmunder out of jail. Though he cased the electronics store perfectly, the cops surprised him, turning up in the alley just as he was walking out the back door, a television in each hand. Already a two-time loser, without divine intervention he faces a long stretch inside. Then God sends J. Radcliffe Stonewiler, a celebrity lawyer who gets Dortmunder off with hardly any effort at all.

Stonewiler was sent by Arnold Chauncey, an art lover with a cash-flow problem. He asks the thief to break into his house and make off with a valuable painting in exchange for a quarter of the insurance money. Chauncey has pulled the stunt twice before, so it must look real. He’ll give Dortmunder no inside help - a shame since, when this caper spins out of control, he’ll need all the help he can get.

Narration can make or break a Story

This is a good story, it really is. I have read this book years ago, this is why I resisted, listening to books on audible, I'm sorry the narration is very poor, some characters sound the same, others seem to blend between each other, there is no hard bitten New York accents, its like the guys reading a grocery list for a lot of the book. Brian Holsopple is a lot better.
