June 1969, New York. John Dortmunder is approached to carry out a heist by one of his former accomplices, Kelp, an expert in stealing cars.

The plan is to take advantage of an African art exhibition to steal its star attraction—an emerald worth half a million dollars—for an obscure African state where the invaluable stone has special importance.

Though reluctant to do it and ill-at-ease when meeting the silent partner behind the operation, Dortmunder lets himself be convinced and starts to recruit the crack team that will nab the emerald...

The Hot Rock by Donald Westlake promises a thrilling adventure into the art of the heist, filled with wit, suspense, and the unforgettable antihero, John Dortmunder.
