The Burglar Who Thought He Was Bogart by Lawrence Block

In this witty and engaging mystery, a charming and clever burglar finds himself entangled in a web of intrigue and deception reminiscent of a classic film noir. As he navigates the shadowy streets of New York City, he is drawn into a dangerous game involving a missing manuscript, a femme fatale, and a cast of eccentric characters. With his quick wit and love for old movies, he must solve the puzzle before the stakes become too high, all while channeling the spirit of his cinematic idol, Humphrey Bogart.
