The Road to Ruin
Ratings1
Average rating5
The con is on. The mark is Monroe Hall, a corrupt CEO who lavished more of his company's money on himself than the boys at Enron and WorldCom combined. The loot? A fleet of vintage automobiles that would leave the Sultan of Brunei blushing. The catch? Trying to outsmart a collection of angry union men who've been taken for a ride and blue-blooded suckers who've been taken for their family fortunes. But if Dortmunder and his merry band of crooks are to drive off with the loot, they'll have to act fast - before they get caught in a deadly crossfire.

I L O V E the Dortmunder series. I don't condone crime in the real world but how can you not be drawn to a character that has such fascinating compadres and find such ingenious ways to get out of the tight situations they end up in.
I've just found a copy to add to my library.
This is the worst Dortmunder I've read so far. It's not bad, per se, but not as satisfying as the others. The fun part of the premise is to have Dortmunder and crew working as employees on the estate, but that doesn't happen until about 60% in.
