Ha! I love that you mention the lack of cops. Cops don't exist in Donald Westlake's world, whether it be his Dortmunder books or his Parker novels (Personally, I love the Parker novels, but they're not funny). If you're looking for funny, Elmore Leonard always makes me laugh out loud with his awesome characters.

<p>i finished reading 'the hot rock'..i dint feel it interesting or comic(except for the train scene and a couple of scenes)..</p>
<p>i was expecting them to be morons, but they are perfect in their trade except for the major and at last he too proved to be clever.</p>
<p>i felt the story as pretty ordinary and predictable. what are the cops doing..? wren't there investigators at the time?</p>
<p>its just my opinion and thanks again for the suggestions</p>

Check out any of Donald Westlake's Dortmunder books. They're all funny, they're all capers, and Westlake was brilliant.
