The robbers of London town plan a desperate crime on Christmas Eve - to steal all the toys they can lay their hands on!

The London cops are described as being ‘hardworking, brave and true’. Think of other words that describe the qualities of a good police officer. Here we have two very believable New York City cops, living on Long Island and commuting into work together. They often have the same shifts but each has their own partner. We, as the reader, are treated with chapters written in the 3rd person and also chapters from the point of view of either Tom or Joe. It makes the story more personal and exciting as it unfolds from three different points of view. Tom and Joe are New York City policemen. They are also planning a grand heist that should net them two million dollars. But they have to outwit the Mob to keep the money and their lives.

This was my first Donald Westlake and after looking him up, I found he’s written quite a few books and many more under under several pseudonyms. About a dozen of them fall into this “comic crime novels” category which, by modern standards is not comedy; just two real guys behaving in real ways while going through their normal day (and night) shifts.urn:lcp:copsrobbers00ahlb:epub:81149a5d-5c1f-4cb2-8ff7-471947d56c4a Extramarc University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (PZ) Foldoutcount 0 Identifier copsrobbers00ahlb Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t2x35z73t Isbn 0688801781 Lccn 78005354 Ocr_converted abbyy-to-hocr 1.1.20 Ocr_module_version 0.0.17 Openlibrary OL4718553M Openlibrary_edition This book was a hand-me-down from an older cousin and became an instant hit. Written in verse with the refrain "Ho Ho for the robbers/The cops and the robbers Ho Ho!" which is too catchy and my son used to sing out as loudly as possible. Long before Steven Paige and Ed Robertson mused about what they would do if they had a million dollars, Tom and Joe decided it was a game worth playing; a risk worth taking. The edition I read has this terrible front cover that makes the book out to be a farce rather than a “comic mystery” of its day. Shame that anyone judging a book by its cover would most likely miss this gem. Hello Yellow - 80 Books to Help Children Nurture Good Mental Health and Support With Anxiety and Wellbeing -
