Dortmunder steals the wrong ring and soon the cops and the fanatics and his fellow criminals are all trying to track him down.

Clever and funny, Westlake's comedic timing is impeccable. This is perhaps one of my favorite in the Dortmunder and Kelp series.

The narrator was excellent, but the story was so-so. I like the Dortmunder series though, so I'll keep listening to the audiobooks.

I was getting a bit bored by Dortmunder from the last few books; they're a too samey, with one-dimensional characters (the bartender who refers to people by what they drink; the driver whose only discussion topic is what route he took to the meeting --- even though most of the stings don't require a driver!; etc). This book is a nice shake up to the formula, in which Dortmunder accidentally steals the macguffin and can't wait (or manage) to get rid of it.
