Plot

In the heart of the urban jungle, Bernice "Bernie" Rhodenbarr, a reformed cat burglar, now runs a quaint bookstore. Beneath the surface, her past life of crime whispers, tempting her with its audacious allure. Bernie's world takes an unexpected turn when a retired cop, who once snapped her in the jaws of justice, emerges from the shadows of her past. A secret piece of evidence from an old heist is his bargaining chip, and he demands hush money. In a twist of fate, Bernie finds herself lured back into her old life. A seemingly straightforward burglary job beckons, presented by an unassuming lady dentist. However, the darkness of crime never fails to surprise, and the simple theft spirals into an unexpected encounter with death. Suddenly, Bernie's illicit escapade becomes a desperate fight for innocence. In the house she's burgled, a lifeless body is discovered, and Bernie's the only one who can be placed at the scene of the crime. Her friend, Carl Hefler, a dog groomer and unlikely ally in this dangerous world, stands by her side. With the law closing in, Bernie must weave through this tangled web of crime and deception. Using her unique set of skills, she must clear her name of the murder charge and dodge the impending burglary accusations. In this thrilling tale of crime and redemption, Bernie Rhodenbarr must grapple with her past, her present, and the blurred lines of her moral compass. Will she manage to outsmart her pursuers and prove her innocence, or will her return to the world of theft become her ultimate downfall?
