A simple job appraising a book collector's library turns into another mystery for Bernie: an abducted cat, a stolen Mondrian painting and a dead body. And Bernie is the prime suspect.

"As a burglar, Bernie is not surprised when his girlfriend asks him to steal a Mondrian painting from the local museum in order to get her stolen cat back, but as things develop, a man is found murdered, and the cops approach Bernie for answers."

"It's not that used bookstore owner and part-time burglar Bernie Rhodenbarr believes the less legal of his two professions is particularly ethical. (It is, however, a rush, and he is very good at it.) He just thinks it's unfair to face a prison term for his legitimate activities. After appraising the worth of a rich man's library -- conveniently leaving his fingerprints everywhere in the process -- Bernie finds he's the cops' prime suspect when his client is murdered. Someone has framed Bernie Rhodenbarr better than they do it at the Whitney. And if he wants to get out of this corner he's been masterfully painted into, he'll have to get to the bottom of a rather artful -- if multiply murderous -- scam."@en
"For rare book dealer Rhodenbarr, first editions are his pride, but illegal entry will always be his passion. When a job appraising the private collection of Gordon Onderdonk, a Manhattan millionaire, gives Rhodenbarr a chance to checkout the tempting personal holdings of the rich and famous."
"Bernie Rhodenbarr, an intrepid bookseller-by-day and burglar-by-night, is asked by a Manhattan collector to appraise his impressive library. He pulls off a low-risk burglary, but is soon caught up in a scheme involving a stolen painting."@en
