The Burglar in the Closet

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

At a routine check-up, Bernie's Dentist hires him to steal some valuable diamonds from his soon-to-be ex. But after Bernie breaks into Crystal Sheldrake's apartment, someone comes home and Bernie slips into the closet, agonizing over the friendly sounds coming from Crystal's boudoir. Time passes, and Bernie emerges, and there's lovely Crystal Sheldrake, only she's dead on the floor, a dental instrument to blame. To top it off, the diamonds are gone, and soon Bernie is too, chasing a killer's shadow and evading the inquiring eyes of his nemesis, Detective Ray Kirschmann!

"Exceptionally refreshing... Lawrence Block is a master of ingratiating, literate entertainment". — Washington Post Book World

"You'd rather be stranded on a desert island with Bernie Rhodenbarr than with any other detective in fiction". — Kirkus Reviews

"Wonderfully funny... Effortless first-person narrative and zippy dialogue". — Los Angeles Times Book Review
