They are also planning a grand heist that should net them two million dollars. But they have to outwit the Mob to keep the money and their lives. This book doesn’t include the kind of zany antics that Westlake is known for in his comic crime capers, but there’s plenty of action, quite a few surprises and plot twists, and a great sense of time and place. The “heroes” may be crooked cops, but they do have certain standards, and they are very smart about how they go about planning and executing the robbery. They anticipate many obstacles and are quick to compensate and adjust their plans for those things they did not think of in advance. It was a fast read, and I enjoyed going along for the ride. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

The Grand Master of Mystery delivers "nerve-end-entertainment" when two of New York's finest set out to become two of New York's richest (Kirkus Reviews). Tom and Joe have been walking the beat on the mean streets of the Big Apple longer than they can remember--or care to. They've been good cops, protecting the public and holding the line against crime and chaos in a city that has plenty of both. And all they have to show for it is a whole lot of nothing. But now the partners have devised a scheme to make all their dreams come true: the perfect heist. Tom and Joe are going to rob the fat cats on Wall Street for millions and walk away clean. With the right connections and the proper execution, there's no way their plan can fail. And that's why they're so surprised when everything goes totally, hysterically wrong . . . With Cops and Robbers, the three-time Edgar Award-winning author, named a Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America, offers "another very hot and successful" novel with "a siren shrill finale" (Kirkus Reviews). Praise for Donald E. Westlake "Westlake has no peer in the realm of comic mystery novelists." --San Francisco Chronicle "No writer can excel Donald E. Westlake." --Los Angeles Times No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

A man in a cop's uniform, pulls his gun and holds up a store. Days later he relates what he did to his partner. What follows is how to destroy $12,000,000 in bearer bonds, turning them into confetti, in order to make $2,000,000 in cash.
This was intriguing and suspenseful. Enjoy. ( )
