This time John Dortmunder and his merry band of crooks return to the scene of the crime world in an attempt to steal a fleet of automobiles that would leave the Sultan of Brunei blushing. The mark is Monroe Hall; corrupt CEO of a now defunct conglomerate who spent more of his company's money on himself than the boys at Enron and WorldCom combined.
