The story begins at Charlie Brody’s funeral.
An ‘organization’ funeral.
The main character in this is Engel, a fellow much like Westlake’s Dortmunder, only a mobster. But similar luck (bad)! And like a Dortmunder book, this one is an entertaining and funny read! Engel needs the blue suit of Charlie Brody, but when he digs up the casket, the body is gone! Engel must then chase down the missing corpse to collect the blue suit and return it to his boss. But, like everything else in life, it's just not that easy. And we are the lucky ones who get to read all about the mess that ensues!
Oh ho…
