Finished
The Pool of Fire by John Christopher. Book 3 in the original trilogy. And it was the worst one in my opinion. Too many impossibilities to accept.
Next up is
The Lock Artist by Steve Hamilton.
From B&N:
Quote:
Winner of the 2011 Edgar Award for Best Novel
Michael is no ordinary young man. Mute since a childhood tragedy, at age eighteen he discovers that he possesses a skill he would never have expected. Whether it's a locked door without a key, a padlock with no combination, or even an eight-hundred pound safe…he can open them all.
It's a talent that will make Michael a hot commodity with the wrong people, and whether he likes it or not, push him closer to a life of crime. Until one day, when he finally sees his chance to escape, and decides to risk everything to return home to the only person he ever loved, and to unlock the secret that has kept him silent for so long.
