The Hot Rock by Donald E. Westlake

3.0

First in the Dortmunder series. A comedy of errors. Dortmunder has just been released from prison when he meets up with his old friends (and criminals) and they are contracted to steal an emerald from a museum showroom. They manage to steal the emerald but then it keeps getting misplaced and they have to keep stealing it back. Would like to read another.
