About

Bernice "Bernie" Rhodenbarr is a burglar by trade, and she runs a bookstore as well. Her friend Carl Hefler is a dog groomer. After a successful burglary, it's discovered that a dead body was in the house she burgled. As she's the only one who can be placed at the scene of the crime, she has to use her criminal skills to clear her name of the murder AND avoid getting charged with the burglary.
This sun-drenched, quirky caper trades tension for a playful, low-key charm. A bookshop owner must use her illicit knack for breaking and entering to clear her name after stumbling upon a corpse.
