Tina tries hard not to exist. As a thief in Sangui City, disappearing is part of her life's work. As a member of the notorious Goonda squad, she has to fulfil her role or be severely punished. It wasn't always like this, Tina used to live with her mother and sister in the home of Mr. Greyhill, a wealthy businessman. When Tina's mother is found shot to death, her sister gets moved to a Catholic boarding school and Tina went on the run. Convinced that Greyhill was responsible for her mother's death, Tina uses her connections with the criminal underworld to expose his crimes. Nothing goes according to plan however when Tina tries to pull off a job at Greyhill's mansion and is confronted by his son. Now it's a race against time as Tina tries to learn the truth behind her mother's murder. What she will find out will change her life forever. City of Saints & Thieves combines mystery, action, (slight) romance and family drama wound into a tight story. Fans of The Bourne Identity series and even Orphan Black are going to love this novel. It's sharp and fast with memorable characters. It has moments that breathe in your hands. I flew through it and I know the teens at my school library will absolutely love it.
