Author Description

<p><i><b>'Who wants to be the same as everyone else? You don't want to be ordinary, do you?'</b></i> <br><br>Tom always imagined he was adopted. At 17, he flees ordinariness in small-town Australia for Melbourne and a run-down block named Cairo. There he meets Max Cheever. <br><br>Enigmatic, artistic, anarchic: Max liberates Tom into a new world - of first love, first crimes - and the greatest art heist of the twentieth century. This is his family now. <br><br>But of all this summer's lessons, the cruellest will be telling what is real from what is fake.</p>
