In this stand-alone novel (a departure from Hamilton’s Edgar Award-winning Alex McKnight series) Michael is nearing the end of his 9-year prison term. Mute since the age of 7 (following a childhood trauma that also left him orphaned) the seventeen-year-old discovers he has twin talents for art & lock-breaking. Moving back and forth in time, Mike narrates his strange journey from his home in Michigan to both coasts; apprenticed to an aging safe-cracker, and doing various jobs for a mysterious Detroit mobster.
