Dortmunder and his usual companions, whilst busy proving that crime does not pay, find themselves involved with felonies both high and low. What begins as a simple grave robbery escalates into high-stakes confrontations at an American Indian gambling casino, a burglary that's such a perfect crime no one realizes it happened, and assaults on the infallibility of DNA testing so complex even the characters are left wondering whose head they're scratching. Through thick and thin John Dortmunder as usual prevails - more or less. Out of the skier-infested slopes of New York State through storm and fire, through city and country slickers, past a judge whose only prayer is that he never meets an interesting case, Dortmunder slogs on, with or without the bacon. For him, getting there is all the fun. It's a good thing his faithful companion, May, has kept her day job.

Most enjoyable reading and a welcome departure from other writings in this genre.
This book is an easy read and reminiscent of Damon Runyon. The authors use of very colorful characters Iin a more modern setting expands the stories possibilities.
