The Hot Rock
Donald E. Westlake
Mystery & Suspense
James Mustich
Aug 3, 2018
Pure pleasure. That’s what you’ll find in the pages of Donald Westlake’s Dortmunder novels. Comic crime capers featuring a genial, recurring cast of benignly larcenous characters, led by the “dogged but doomed” thief John Dortmunder, they’re filled with schemes, mischief, mishaps, and over-the-top plot twists that will surprise even the most imaginative reader. The Hot Rock, which charts the theft, re-theft, theft again—there’s more, but you get the idea—of a large emerald belonging to a small African nation, was the first in the series and sets the stage for the laugh-out-loud delights that follow.
