I join previous reviewers for "crying" the disappearance of Donald Westlake! Alas, what a great author who is well missed. To those who do not know, this novel is a masterpiece and it is true that it is crying ... laughing. As mentioned, it's good for morale. "Dancing Aztecs" is not bad too! acolytes Dortmunder regroup in time to hilarious adventures. A real pleasure!
