One perfect house. One dead body. One bad day. There are thousands and thousands of decent homes - very nice homes - with nobody living in them. There are thousands and thousands of broke young people - very nice young people - with nowhere decent to live. This is where Al comes in. Al lives in wealthy people's second houses when the real owners are away. He's charming, convincing and easily lost in a crowd. Life is perfect. But unfortunately for him, Al and his friends have just broken into the wrong place, on the wrong day - and found a body. And now they're in a whole heap of trouble. Featuring crooked builders, dodgy coppers and some very dangerous spies, 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. __________ Love for The Sanctuary ...
