书籍简介
这位神秘大师讲述了纽约 *优 秀的两个人准备成为纽约最富有的两个人的故事。
汤姆和乔在纽约的大街上循着节奏走了很长时间,他们已经记不清了,也不愿去想了。他们是优秀的警察,保护公众,在城市中与犯罪和混乱作斗争。而他们所能表现出来的只是一堆微不足道的东西。
但现在,这对合伙人想出了一个计划,让他们所有的梦想成真:完美的抢劫。这句话的意思是:汤姆和乔打算从华尔街的那些有钱有势的人那里掠夺数百万美元,然后清身离开。有了正确的联系和正确的执行,他们的计划是不会失败的。这就是为什么当一切都变得完全、歇斯底里地错误时,他们会如此惊讶……
在《点指兵兵》一书中,这位三度获得埃德加奖的作家,被美国神秘作家称为大师,为读者提供了“又一部非常热门和成功的”小说,“结局尖锐刺耳”(柯尔库斯评论)。
The Grand Master of Mystery delivers "nerve-end-entertainment" when two of New York"s finest set out to become two of New York"s richest (Kirkus Reviews).
Tom and Joe have been walking the beat on the mean streets of the Big Apple longer than they can remember-or care to. They"ve been good cops, protecting the public and holding the line against crime and chaos in a city that has plenty of both. And all they have to show for it is a whole lot of nothing.
But now the partners have devised a scheme to make all their dreams come true: the perfect heist. Tom and Joe are going to rob the fat cats on Wall Street for millions and walk away clean. With the right connections and the proper execution, there"s no way their plan can fail. And that"s why they"re so surprised when everything goes totally, hysterically wrong . . .
With Cops and Robbers, the three-time Edgar Award-winning author, named a Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America, offers "another very hot and successful" novel with "a siren shrill finale" (Kirkus Reviews).

作者简介
唐纳德·埃德温·维斯特莱克(Donald Edwin Westlake)(1933.7.12 –2008,12.31) 是一位美国作家,他写作了几百部著名的小说和非小说。他主要撰写犯罪小说,尤其是幽默的恶作剧,偶尔也会涉足科幻小说或其他类型小说。他是三届爱德华奖的得主,也是三位(另两位是乔·高尔斯Joe Gores和威廉姆·L·安德里亚William L. DeAndrea)仅有的在不同范畴内赢得爱伦坡奖的作家之一(1968年最佳小说,《天佑马克》”God Save the Mark”;;1990年最佳短篇小说,《诡计多端》"Too Many Crooks";;1991年最佳编剧奖,《诈骗犯》”The Grifters”)。 1993年,美国推理作家协会授予维斯特莱克大师头衔,这是社会授予其的 *高 荣誉。
Donald E. Westlake (1933-2008) was one of the most prolific and talented authors of American crime fiction. He began his career in the late 1950s, churning out novels for pulp houses-often writing as many as four novels a year under various pseudonyms-but soon began publishing under his own name. His most well-known characters were John Dortmunder, an unlucky thief, and a ruthless criminal named Parker. His writing earned him three Edgars and a Grand Master Award from the Mystery Writers of America.
Westlake"s cinematic prose and brisk dialogue made his novels attractive to Hollywood, and several motion pictures were made from his books, with stars such as Lee Marvin and Mel Gibson. Westlake wrote several screenplays himself, receiving an Academy Award nomination for his adaptation of The Grifters, Jim Thompson"s noir classic.
