ByPublisher Description
A HARD CASE CRIME CLASSIC: A quirky caper novel from the 3-time Edgar Award winner and mystery Grand Master, Donald E. Westlake!
What will a group of monks do when their New York City monastery is threatened with demolition to make room for a new high-rise?
…Anything they have to. “Thou Shalt Not Steal” is only the first of the Commandments to be broken as the saintly face off against the unscrupulous over that most sacred of relics, a Park Avenue address.
Returning to bookstores for the first time in three decades, Brothers Keepers offers not only a master class in comedy from one of the most beloved mystery writers of all time but also a surprisingly heartfelt meditation on loss, temptation, and how we treat our fellow man.
