Small-time burglar becomes invisible. Sounds like a burglar's dream, no? No. It's not like he has a Harry Potter invisibility cloak. He's just invisible. Where to put the diamonds he is carrying? Right next to a lady in a sparkly dress. Close your eyes? You can still see... see through your invisible eyelids. Ate soup? You see it sloshing around, for a while. Dirty feet? Feet are invisible but the dirt is not.
Wickedly funny Westlake stand-alone. It doesn't have Dortmunder, but it's as funny as any Dortmunder book.
