But his passion always reigns. In this eighth Bernie Rhodenbarr caper, author Lawrence Block mimics the murderer's M.O. in Agatha Christie's <I>And Then There Were None</I> while preserving the premise of the Burglar series. Bernie bursts in on someone else's wrongdoing before he gets to have any fun. All he wants is to make off with a Raymond Chandler first edition, but instead, red-handed, he stumbles on foul play. Lots of amusing send-ups of the genre's older conventions, particularly those oft-employed twists of dame Christie. 370354 1997 The Burglar in the Library total:302|5:70|4:125|3:91|2:12|1:4| 302 1151 378 35 380557 006087287X 9780060872878 278 32 3.81 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174326309m/380557.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/380557.The_Burglar_in_the_Library 5 1 false Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1999 Thu Nov 13 06:32:36 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 18 06:35:10 -0800 2008 Raymond Chandler inscribed a copy of The Long Sleep to Dashiell Hammett, gave it to him, and then the book was inadvertently left at the place where the two had met for drinks.
