My name is Al. I live in wealthy people’s second homes while their real owners are away. I don’t rob them, I don’t damage anything. I’m more an unofficial house-sitter than an actual criminal. Life is good. Or it was – until last night, when my friends and I broke into the wrong place, on the wrong day, and someone wound up dead. And now – now we’re in a great deal of trouble. Featuring crooked houses, dodgy coppers and a lot of lockpicking, ‘A Beginner’s Guide to Breaking and Entering’ is a gripping thriller about what it’s like to be young, skilled, unemployed – and on the run.
