About the Book: In A Beginner’s Guide to Breaking and Entering, Al leads a seemingly harmless life as an unofficial house-sitter, occupying wealthy individuals’ second homes while they’re away. He doesn’t steal or damage property—he’s more of a caretaker than a criminal. However, his routine is upended when a break-in goes wrong, resulting in a death that entangles him and his friends in a web of trouble. What began as a harmless act now threatens to unravel their lives.
