	Caper stories
		There is often a villain-hero inversion in caper movies, where the 'criminals' are the good guys and the security forces are the bad guys.
		Caper movies typically involve stealing from rich people, casinos or impersonal museums, thus reducing the 'badness' of the theft as no individual who would be harmed by the theft is involved.
		These stories are thus related to the Robin Hood story, where we are invited to fantasize about engaging in unlawful activities, yet from a safe moral standpoint.

	Caper story
		The caper story is a subgenre of crime fiction.
		The caper story is distinguished from the straight crime story by elements of humor, adventure, or unusual cleverness or audacity.
		For instance, the Dortmunder stories of Donald E. Westlake are highly comic tales involving unusual thefts by a gang of offbeat characters — in different stories Dortmunder's gang steals the same gem several times, steals an entire branch bank, and kidnaps someone from an asylum by driving a stolen train onto the property.

		The events of the story are usually performed by characters or emerge from the milieu, and the discovery of an idea can also be an event in the tale.
		A short story would probably only be able to deal with one or two, where a novel could deal with changes in all of a character's relationships.
		If the story begins as a milieu story, readers will gladly follow any number of story lines of every type, letting them be resolved here and there as needed, continuing to read in order to discover more of the milieu.

		Judd Winick’s Caper is one of the new breed of comics: a 12 issue limited series broken into three stories linked only by theme and genealogy; Three different artists tending to the facets of one writer’s vision.
		The first two Caper storylines were so strong and vivid, it’s understandable that this modern-day arc would lack the punch those unique settings had.
		But Caper has delved into so much period art, history, and pop-culture, you gotta ask what’s so special about a modern-day crime story from the same team.

		It's a really nice little "done in one" story with a likable yet mean protagonist, some real snap to the dialogue and narration and all the right atmosphere for this type of book.
		Over the course of the story, the guy betrays several of his partners and commits more than a couple of cold-blooded murders, and yet I couldn't help but root for him.

		Until coming across Garry Disher’s Wyatt books, the only hardboiled caper stories I had read were books such as W.R. Burnett’s The Asphalt Jungle and Richard Stark’s Parker series.
		In order to bankroll the main caper Wyatt and his team of 2 must plan and carry out a couple of smaller jobs.
		We know what motivates them, all else is irrelevant to the story, so Disher leaves it out and this simply adds to the pace of the book.

		The actions of police or detectives attempting to prevent or solve the crimes may also be chronicled, but are not the main focus of the story.
		By contrast, the same author's Parker stories (published under the name Richard Stark) are grimly straightforward accounts of mundane crime — the criminal equivalent of the police procedural.
		A caper may appear as a subplot in a larger work.

		The story line is amusing and entertaining as John and his team engage in a battle of wits."
		Westlake has aptly been called a "national literary treasure" and he proves the truth of the title as he writes about quirky characters who often fail in the capers they attempt, and always run into nearly insurmountable problems.
		"Proving that a baker's dozen retains a humorous freshness, the latest Dortmunder crime caper is a delightful amusing tale with a cast of a zillion seemingly playing chess with one another on the same board.
