A professional criminal is hired to steal bonds from a rich businessman who lives in a heavily guarded compound. A key part of the security is provided by some large dogs (hence the cover image!)
The actual caper is a bit ridiculous (he is smuggled into the compound with it's highly lauded security in a car boot!) Too much of the story involves him wandering around the house, mostly aimlessly, at night trying to find documents. It isn't the most thrilling crime story you will ever read at times. However, it does built up to a satisfying and action packed conclusion.
The story isn't bad but it is a bit too wordy, it has pages of dialogue which go nowhere but no doubt help pad the thin plot out. The story includes quite a lot of crudity and bad language which leaves me a bit cold.
Although I'm pretty potty mouthed myself, i strangely do not really enjoy reading it!
