Synopsis: It's hard to ignore
someone with his hands in your mouth. Bernie Rhodenbarr's all ears when
Dr. Sheldrake, his dentist, starts complaining about his detestable,
soon-to-be-ex wife, and happens to mention the valuable diamonds she
keeps lying around the apartment. Since Bernie's been known to
supplement his income as a bookstore owner with the not-so-occasional
bout of high-rise burglary, a couple of nights later he's in the
Sheldrake apartment with larceny on his mind -- and has to duck into a
closet when the lady of the house makes an unexpected entrance.
Unfortunately he's still there when an unseen assailant does Mrs.
Sheldrake in . . . and then vanishes with the jewels.
Bernie's got to come out of the closet some time. But when he does,
he'll be facing a rap for a murder he didn't commit -- and for a
burglary he certainly attempted -- unless he can hunt down the killer
who left him hanging.
