“Your father has found a way to pick thousands of pockets with the click of a single computer key.”

I’d been waiting for the day I could punish my dad. For everything he did, and everything he might have done. I figured I’d have to use my own two fists. That’s the reason I came to New York – to grow strong enough to beat him. I wanted to make the bastard bleed. But now, after I’m finished, I can send what little is left of him to jail.

A meth dealer. A prostitute. A serial killer.

Anywhere else, they’d be vermin. At the Mandel Academy, they’re called prodigies. The most exclusive school in New York City has been training young criminals for over a century. Only the most ruthless students are allowed to graduate. The rest disappear.

Flick, a teenage pickpocket, has risen to the top of his class. But then Mandel recruits a fierce new competitor who also happens to be Flick’s old flame. They’ve been told only one of them will make it out of the Mandel Academy. Will they find a way to save each other—or will the school destroy them both?

    Imagine having such spite for your father… Bet it makes for good reading though.

    Happy weekend!

  2. Sounds like a great read to me. I love serial killers and I want to know what he did to his father.

      I have the print copy Sherry. Once I’m finished I’ll bring it over. Of course, I expect the pool to be ready and the Margarita’s to be frozen! LOL
