Foreword: a burglar's origins -- A bad night for burglars -- Mr. Rhodenbarr, bookseller, advises a young customer on seeking a vocation -- The burglar who strove to go straight -- Like a thief in the night -- The burglar who dropped in on Elvis -- The burglar who smelled smoke -- The burglar who collected Copernicus -- A burglar's-eye view of greed -- A burglar on location -- Five books Bernie has read more than once -- A burglar's complaint -- The burglar takes a cat -- The burglar on the screen -- Afterword: a burglar's future.
For the first time ever, all of Bernie's short-form appearances in one complete volume - plus two new, unpublished pieces. In all of mystery fiction, there has never been a character like Bernie--and in this book, he demonstrates all the charm and wit and kleptophilic ingenuity that has made two generations of readers welcome their favourite burglar into their homes.
