Bernie Rhodenbarr's all ears when Dr. Sheldrake, his dentist, starts complaining about his detestable, soon-to-be-ex wife, and happens to mention the valuable diamonds she keeps lying around the apartment. Since Bernie's been known to supplement his income as a bookstore owner with the not-so-occasional bout of high-rise burglary, a couple of nights later he's in the Sheldrake apartment with larceny on his mind -- and has to duck into a closet when the lady of the house makes an unexpected entrance. Unfortunately he's still there when an unseen assailant does Mrs. Sheldrake in . . . and then vanishes with the jewels.   Bernie's got to come out of the closet some time. But when he does, he'll be facing a rap for a murder he didn't commit -- and for a burglary he certainly attempted -- unless he can hunt down the killer who left him  hanging."}, "covers": [291837, 890478], "subject_places": ["New York (N.Y.)", "New York (State)", "New York"], "subjects": ["Fiction", "Bernie Rhodenbarr (Fictitious character)", "Thieves", "Detective and mystery stories", "Fiction in English", "Mystery", "Criminals, fiction", "New york (n.y.), fiction", "Rhodenbarr, bernie (fictitious character), fiction", "Fiction, mystery & detective, general", "Large type books"], "latest_revision": 2, "revision": 2, "created": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2009-10-15T11:55:34.777519"}, "last_modified": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2023-12-17T16:29:49.307688"}}
