From the author of our former Thriller of the Month The Sanctuary comes a pulsating and grippingly original thriller about bent cops, mysterious houses and a group of young squatters making use of rich people's empty properties - with deadly consequences.
Property might be theft. But the housing market is murder . . . 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.
Property might be theft. But the housing market is murder.
