Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 2004

Nothing much happens in Anna's life. She gets on with her school work, helps her mom and keeps her fellow students at arm's length. That is until Ritchie arrives, a new boy at school. For reasons she's not really sure about, Anna tries to befriend him, but finds him reticent. Then one night Anna is mugged. She tackles her assailant and is horrified to see it is Ritchie—in the dark, he hadn't recognized her. They begin talking, their strange friendship develops, and gradually Anna gets pulled into his world. But Ritchie isn't really the bad boy he first appears. Between them, he and Anna decide to use crime to try and redistribute wealth, rather than just steal for themselves. But then things start to go sour. Anna wants to stop the scams but Ritchie insists on just one final job, to get back the father who abandoned him. But there's something he's not telling her. They set up the job to steal from Ritchie's dad's house, but when his father discovers them, it transpires that Ritchie is really there for a completely different reason—to kill him.
