A riotous caper novel, Dancing Aztecs is Donald E. Westlake at his comedic and frenetic best. The story chronicles the madcap scramble that ensues when a priceless golden Aztec statuette — one of sixteen identical figurines — is accidentally shipped to New York City, and a cast of hilariously mismatched characters race across the city to find it. Westlake masterfully orchestrates the chaos, cutting between crooks, bumbling associates, and innocent bystanders who all become unwitting players in the hunt. The novel presents a sharp, witty satire of greed and urban life, delivered at a breathless pace that never lets up. First published in 1976, it stands as one of the most entertaining heist-adjacent comedies in American crime fiction.
