What We're Reading: Edward


Lock Artist
by Steve Hamilton
This novel is NOT part of Hamilton's award winning Alex McKnight series. In this novel, Mike has not talked since an incident when he was eight. His condition has made him a loner. Mike makes his first friend in a high school art class. At a party his friend gets Mike to display his ability to pick locks. This simple demonstration sets Mike on a troubled path. When a high school prank goes wrong, Mike gets caught. Mike's probation gets him involved with a man who has criminal connections. Mike learns to crack safes to pay off the man's debts. But the man's daughter may be Mike's salvation. Will Mike go with the flow and begin a life of crime? Will Mike's love help him to go straight? The chapters of the book go forward and backward in time much like the combinations on the locks that Mike picks. Sit back, read and enjoy.
