A true story of bank heists, ice hockey, Transylvanian pelt smuggling, moonlighting detectives and broken hearts. As the Eastern bloc slips off its communist skin and replaces it with leopard-skin hot pants, 'Ballad Of The Whiskey Robber'
is here to screw in the pink lightbulbs. Part 'Unbearable Lightness of Being', part 'Pink Panther', and part 'Slap Shot', Julian Rubinstein's tale is a spectacular literary debut - and a story so outrageous that it could only be true.
