We are excited to welcome Andrew Hunter Murray to Waterstones Nottingham to celebrate the release of A Beginner’s Guide to Breaking and Entering.
Property might be theft. But the housing market is murder.
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.
Andrew will talk about his new book before signing books and answering your questions.
