Burglary for Beginners by Jem Solak
Jack is a professional, one of the best in the business. Now he’s reluctantly taken on an apprentice, his nephew Oliver, who wants to learn the finer points of the family business. But on-the-job training is never simple when your business is burglary!
It should have been an uncomplicated job – breaking into the house of a wealthy art dealer to liberate some particularly valuable stamps: tidy, profitable, the perfect crime. But when things don’t go quite according to plan, Jack finds himself tutoring an incompetent accomplice while arguing the finer points of art appreciation, entertaining some unexpected guests and learning more about cooking than he ever wanted to know.
And there’s still the little matter of a safe to be cracked...

Oliver – 20s. Nephew of Jack
Richard – 40-ish. Homeowner. Wealthy art dealer
