The sixth novel, and one of the best, in the award-winning Block's bestselling mystery series featuring Bernie Rhodenbarr, New York City bookseller and burglar. Bernie's second-hand bookstore is turning a small profit until his new landlord wants to raise his rent $10,000 per month. So going back to his former profession of burglar, he slips into a supposedly un-tenanted apartment, steals a very large amount of untraceable cash and spots a naked man, dead, in the bath. The apartment just happens to be his new landlord's brother-in-law's, and, not only is the cash missing, but a million-dollar baseball collection is also missing and Bernie's been framed for it.
