| Publisher Description: Wynne-Jones's finest, most beautifully written novel yet, one more in a career full of distinguished works. -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) All Blink wanted was to steal some breakfast for his empty belly, but instead he stumbled upon a fake kidnapping and a cell phone dropped by an abducted CEO. Now Blink is on the run. Enter a girl named Caution, also on the run, from a skeezy drug-dealer boyfriend and from a nightmare in her past that won't let her go. When she spies Blink, Caution can see he's an easy mark. But there's something about this naive, skinny street punk that tugs at her heart. Charged with suspense and intrigue, this taut novel trails two deeply compelling characters as they forge a blackmail scheme that is foolhardy at best, disastrous at worst -- along with a fated, tender partnership that will offer them each a rare chance for redemption. |
