The story launches with a botched solo burglary of a mall discount store. Emerging free but without a cash benefit, Dortmunder sets out to find a quick chunk of money. He is convinced to get involved in the switch of bodies in a Queens, N.Y., cemetery. Of course, things never go right for Dortmunder. And that's the case with Bad News .
Major winner is the crime book aficiando, who receives a payoff in chuckles.
This e-mail arrived the other day and seems worthy of passing along. Dear friends, We are addressing you from Tbilisi, Georgia, Caucasus. We are NGO - Media Democratization and Development Association. We are currently trying to help a Georgian State Library, but it's rather difficult. As you know Georgia now is developing country and unfortunately it has not enough financial sources to get for us necessary books.
