...is Donald Westlake's The Hot Rock, the first book in his series of caper novels about John Dortmunder, a thief whose exploits usually end up going so spectacularly, hilariously awry that he's lucky if he breaks even on any given heist.

I went thru a crazed teenage period of a) reading Westlake and b) loving the movie version of The Hot Rock and watching it every time it was on TV. Afghanistan banana stand!

Ahahaha! I saw the movie for the first time a year or two ago, and it inspired me to go on a Westlake TEAR. Which is just as enjoyable as you'd imagine. :D
