If you're looking for a fast-moving drama, page-turning action and surprising twists, this is the book for you. The adventurous, exciting and deadly tale of two young boys—one born in England and turned out of his home at age five years, the other born in Ireland and sent to a cold, stone monastery against his wishes—who each learn what life is all about under totally different circumstances. English Joe Flynn was born to steal to stay alive. Irish Taylor Framton was told by his father that he was born to live as a monk and make a way for the rest of his family in heaven. But by their own escape methods, each now a solitary figure, they meet under the strangest of circumstances, become wealthy in a most unusual way, but by so doing become responsible for the final, dramatic and deadly outcome of their separate lives. The action begins on the first page and never quits.
