Synopsis

In the searing heat of an unnamed South American city, a gang of child-thieves runs wild. Demi has the gift of speed he can pick a pocket and be gone before his victim has even noticed he was there. Baz is his lookout no one sees her unless she wants them to. It's like a game: dodging the law, keeping one step ahead, being the fastest, the cleverest, the best. But one day, almost by accident, they steal a dazzling, beautiful, priceless jewel - and make a very dangerous enemy. Suddenly they're sucked into a world where children's lives are worthless, where the rich and powerful are just adults who steal on a much grander scale, and where secrets are traded like gold. Their only hope is to make a brave bid for freedom - to head upcountry, away from the unrelenting heat, the dried-up river, the only home they've ever known. When good and bad are meaningless, two child thieves become the beating moral heart of an unputdownable thriller.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Daniel Finn is a well-travelled teacher and writer who has written several books for younger readers, published under another name. When he started to write TWO GOOD THIEVES, and then CALL DOWN THUNDER, he knew they would be different from anything else he'd done - so he started to lead a double life, with two names and two very different writing styles. He lives and works in Surrey, with his wife and two grown-up children.
