What's So Funny?



What’s so funny?  By Donald Westlake

 

Retired cop Johnny Eppick believes that John Dortmunder is the finest thief not already in jail.  So he blackmails him into stealing a jewel encrusted chess set that was intended for Russia’s last czar.  Dortmunder judges the job to be impossible, but with the help of the regulars at O.J.’s Bar and Grill, a plan is hatched.  Lots of laughs—think “Ocean’s Eleven” with a paunchier bunch of thieves.
