The Lock Artist
by Steve Hamilton
The Lock Artist by Steve Hamilton is a mystery worth reading as soon as
you can-it locks you in and doesn't let go, compelling and intensely
involving from the first page.
The reader first meets Mike when he is in prison. He hasn't spoken a
word since a traumatic incident when he was 8, almost 20 years. Mike
has two big talents, he is an artist and he can open any lock or safe.
The first introduces him to the love of his life, and the second gets
him involved in the criminal world as a "boxman" or safecracker. Mike
gets blackmailed into committing robberies to protect his girlfriend,
and he meets an assortment of people and tries to unlock the secrets of
his own life. This is a captivating thriller to the last word, I just
loved it.
