Publisher's Synopsis
They called him the 'miracle boy', for living through that terrible day - yet he could never talk again afterwards. School bullying becomes a nightmare - until Michael discovers he can open locks. When this skill lands him in trouble with the police, he's brought to the attention of Amelia, who sees what's locked away inside him. But Amelia's father, in hock to the mob, wants to avoid a bullet in the head and offers up Michael with his special abilities. Soon he's nicknamed The Lock Artist, as he graduates from padlocks to his first million-dollar diamond heist. But all the time he's planning his own heist: a way of turning the tables on his gangster employers, finding Amelia again, and finally unlocking his own terrible secret.
