A story about bent cops, mysterious houses and a group of young squatters making use of rich people's empty properties - with deadly consequences.

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 about what it's like to be young, skilled, unemployed - and on the run.
