H. P. L. Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Yes, he's the creator of Dortmunder and the other four. It's light-hearted hard-boiled, very 70s in style, but I find his novels very funny. And Dortmunder, he's just a genius!!! Anybody else read him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H. P. L. Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 It's perfect summer reading. All the books are about this gang of thieves making impossible thefts. Dortmunder, the leader, makes these perfect plans and always something goes wrong out of sheer bad luck, and they have to catch up. Hilarious. Start with the first and probably best: "The Hot Rock".
