Westlake writes so smooth and as usual things don't quite work out for Dortmunder. A perfect read from start to finish

Appealed to by an old co-worker Parker shows up to find the man dead. Others are convinced there is hidden money. Parker doubts it but is sucked into the search.

It's been a while since I read a Dortmunder book and after reading Watch Your Back, I realize I need to start reading more Westlake, or re-reading, since over the years I've forgotten the plot to a lot of books. Anyway, outstanding characters and story and the writing doesn't get in the way (the mark of a good storyteller)
