Don’t Ask

by Donald E. Westlake

ONE LINE SUMMARY: Dortmunder and the gang embark on what appears to be a simple burglary of a bone, but which evolves into kidnappings, light torture, mistaken bone identities and an art heist, all in that hilariously Dortmunder way.

I thought I had read this one before when I picked up a used copy at Powell’s in Portland, but I didn’t remember any of this, so I guess it’s new. I enjoyed it a great deal.

Things always go wrong with poor pessimistic Dortmunder, but always in a tragicomic way that generally leave him (mostly) on top. These are great books.
