"It takes the steady hand of a cool pro to monitor the erratic pulse beat of New York City...Block has the offhand grace to make it look easy." —The New York Times

"One of the slickest characters in crime." —The Houston Chronicle

Bernie Rhodenbarr is no ordinary burglar. Smart, sophisticated, and the perfect gentleman, he's cased some of the Big Apple's most fashionable (and expensive) addresses in the name of curiosity, profit, and fun. Bernie steals with style but never simplicity because whenever he gets a craving for a little B&E, trouble can't be far behind. In this long-awaited new installment in the popular series, the legendary Grand Master brings back the intrepid Bernie in a delightfully suspenseful tale that will leave listeners clamoring for more.
