Description

Seven-year-old Peter Cooney, living in a prison-like, hell-hole of an orphanage in Glasgow, befriends fifteen-year-old Danny after the elder boy receives a vicious whipping. Despite their age difference, the two become fast pals, their unfortunate life circumstances creating a strong bond.One day, a deliveryman leaves the back gate open, and Danny and Peter flee from Brother Desmond, nicknamed "The Commandant" by the boys who had suffered many a cruel punishment at the evil man's hands.Living on the streets of London, the boys do the best they can to survive and a twist of fate sends Danny in one direction, Peter another. Developing a delicate touch and quicksilver reflexes, he and a new friend dip into pockets and purses, pursued now and then by the bobbies on the look-out for the young thieves.Life can be uncertain for those living hand-to-mouth and engaging in criminal activities. Sometimes it's hard to tell who to run from: the law or the nefarious characters outside it.After losing his best friend and being betrayed more than once, Peter has some difficult decisions to make. Picking pockets has provided him a good living, but he now sees danger around nearly every corner-and expects betrayal from each new acquaintance. What does the future hold in store for Peter the Pickpocket?
