The Burglar Who Traded Ted Williams

About “The Burglar Who Traded Ted Williams”

Bernie Rhodenbarr is trying to live an honest life and hasn't committed a burglary in a year. However, a landlord's threat to raise his rent by 1,000% forces him back into crime, though only briefly. When the police accuse him of stealing a valuable baseball card collection, Bernie's alibi is ruined because he was burgling another apartment at the time—one that contained a dead body in the bathroom. Now Bernie faces a choice: accept a burglary charge or take on a murder investigation. He decides to uncover the truth himself, hoping to find the real culprit behind the murder.
