Loved it' The Times __________ 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. __________ Praise for A Beginner's Guide to Breaking and Entering . . .
