DESCRIPTION:Within a few hours of being released on parole\, John Dortmun
 der\, a small-time thief and con artist\, is embroiled in a new caper. H
 e had been commissioned to steal a valuable emerald for a newly-formed s
 mall African nation. John handpicks the men who will assist him in this 
 heist\, each of whom brings their special skills to the job at hand and 
 their off-center behavioral traits. This is not exactly your gang that c
 ouldn't shoot straight. Rather\, these misfits just seem to be the victi
 ms of events often beond their control. No matter how much inventive pla
 nning goes into each robbery\, they never seem to walk away with the pri
 ze. It is contantly back to the drawing board for Dortmunder and each ro
 bbbery calls for more innovative and daring methods. (Amazon)\nPlease pi
