No. 5 in the series of Dortmunder caper novels, and quite funny. On a solo burglary of a suburban jewelry, Dortmunder gets extremely lucky and finds a huge, famous ruby ring, intended as a state gift to Turkey. What follows is a huge manhunt by Turkish and Greek Cypriot gangs, the NYPD, the FBI, and every crook in New York City. Dortmunder's greatest coup, but he can't fence the ring and must find a way to get out from under. Great characters and high humor.
An excellent Dortmunder Gang book!
