Description
Millie has one goal: to make a movie in tribute to her late father. At the Manhattan Movie Academy, run by Ricky O’Naire, her favorite director, she’s determined to make it happen. But before she can finish her project, the academy is shut down. Six months later, she sees a preview for the new O’Naire movie—and he’s stolen her idea.
Outraged, she reunites her former film crew to steal the movie and hold it for ransom days before its high-profile premiere. Putting their training and film-nerd backgrounds to use, they pull off the heist in extravagant fashion. But when an unexpected femme fatale uncovers their plan, it’s not long before a trio of hardened criminals want in on the take.
With the stakes now higher than she ever imagined—and her life on the line—Millie has no choice but to lead them all through a dazzling series of moves and countermoves that result in an ending not even Hollywood could see coming.
Advance Praise
"As fun and fast and action-packed as a Saturday night at the movies with more double-crosses than a laced boot. A tribute to the creative process on the page, the stage, and what it takes to make one’s way in the cutthroat world of show business. A stand-out debut novel that is sure to be the first of many from Tyler Schwanke." —Matt Goldman New York Times bestselling author and Emmy Award Winning Television Writer
"This is a compelling read that doesn’t shy away from slightly darker content...A fast-paced homage to the classic heist film." —Kirkus Reviews
"In this delightful heist novel...Schwanke takes his cues from classic noir, but the dilemmas faced (and solutions sought) are pure 21st Century blues." —CrimeReads
“Part young adult novel and part heist movie screenplay, Breaking In is a wild ride of cons, double crosses, and blood—both real and staged. Tyler Schwanke’s debut is a page-turning whirlwind of comedic genius not to be missed.” —Robert Kerbeck, Former Corporate Spy & Award-Winning Author of RUSE and Malibu Burning
