We find John Dortmunder and his clique plus some new characters just as tasty. Westlake succeeds once again the feat of writing a compelling story while being in its register "ironic / caustic / detached" usual.

Dortmunder becomes a true hero in this novel where he launches a project of recovering a first booty and foremost to save the lives of hundreds or thousands of people (slightly pushed by his companion, it is true !) ... In addition to impeccable storyline, reflections Westlake leads us to have on our society, unforgettable characters, there are countless scenes of anthology in this wonderful novel. A novel that is hard to leave after finishing ...
