Nobody's Perfect

The priceless painting is titled "Folly Leads to Man's Ruin," and its owner, the rich and careless Mr. Chauncey, wants it stolen for the insurance payout. That's why he hires Dortmunder, who has a foolproof plan. Just in case, Chauncey also recruits a hit man to make sure he gets the painting back.

Too bad Dortmunder doesn't take the painting's message to heart. He gets stuck in an elevator, and the painting vanishes. Now he's got a few more days to live, unless he comes up with the painting — or another foolproof plan.
