“Vengeance Is Mine, Inc.” by Roald Dahl
Do you ever read a story about some baddies, but those baddies are so ingenious you find yourself rooting for them? And you think, somewhat morosely, “Ain’t no way these criminals are going to get off scot-free?”
Roald Dahl, at least in his adult stories, is the kind of writer who’ll let the baddies ride off into the sunset, victorious.
