One of the author's five recommended books about the myths and realities of how to pull a heist, as shared at The Daily Beast:The Lock Artist by Steve HamiltonRead about another entry on the list.
As I learned to pick locks for The Directive, I was surprised how I had rarely, if ever, seen a good account in fiction. Then I found Hamilton’s novel. He not only has the best and most accurate lock-picking and safe-cracking passages I’ve read, he grounds them in an emotionally-involving story told from the point of view of a young man with a dangerous gift who hasn’t spoken a word since a childhood trauma.
