Mine All Mine

A dazzling and funny romantic comedy from Adam Davies, the author of The Frog King and Goodbye Lemon

The once-rising star Otto Starks is a "pulse"—a highly specialized security guard who has hyperdeveloped senses and a nervous habit of popping tabs of cyanide.

Now, demoted and dangerously in debt to a loan shark, all Otto has left is Charlie Izzo, the woman he loves. Unfortunately, she is also the Rat Burglar's zealous advocate. After he becomes the prime suspect in a robbery and Charlie disappears, Otto realizes that the Rat Burglar has stolen much more from him than art. To get it back he must break the law he has devoted his life to upholding.

Mine All Mine is a nail-biting thriller about deception, betrayal, and ownership—in art and in love.
