    Summary

    Henry leads a simple life. He works at a hardware store, knows half the neighborhood, and earns a little extra money from work that's better left unquestioned. He's not a thief. He just knows how to move through the places where everyone else forgets to look.

    One day, he's asked to take Hans into his home. No questions asked, all expenses paid. All he has to do is let him stay there without worrying about his presence.

    They clash over everything. And yet, something about that forced coexistence slowly begins to change things, so gradually that neither of them sees it coming.

    The problem is that Henry's life isn't as low-profile as he believes. And what seems like a routine job ends up dragging them both into something far darker, toward secrets neither of them wanted to reveal.

    Toward enemies Henry thought he'd left behind.

    Henry thought taking in the spoiled brat Hans would be an easy task.

    He never imagined things would become this complicated.
