Crooked Heart
About this book
In WWII England, ten year old evacuee Neil teams up with a grifting widow, and the two of them begin a moderately successful line in small scams. Unfortunately they have competition - there are other entrepreneurs who regard the locals as their rightful prey, and soon German bombs are the least of Neil's troubles.
