The Burglar Who Dropped In On Elvis (Bernie Rhodenbarr Book 12)

Between 1977 and 1983, I wrote and published five books about the lighthearted and lightfingered Bernard Grimes Rhodenbarr, with his secondhand bookstore and his dogwashing buddy, Carolyn.

And as for Bernie, there have been five more books, making a total of ten. And thereâ€™s been one more short story, â€œThe Burglar Who Smelled Smoke.â€ And every once in a while an entire day goes by without someone asking me when Iâ€™m going to write another book about the fellowâ€¦
