It's a dirty job, but Warren's got to do it.

After five years inside, Warren would much rather be lying under a palm tree up north, than creeping around alleys in a hole like Glenmoore. But first he has to deliver on a promise he made to his cellmate Sumo. So now he has a photograph of a girl and a house, and a psychopathic guard dog to make friends with. One last job. Should be straightforward. But then he’s forced to join a local support group as part of his parole. Which turns out to mean sitting round playing board games with a bunch of weirdos like Sally, a cat-burglar in training, Tom, a kid with anger problems, and Bev and Clem, a pair of old ducks with a penchant for poker.

Well, Warren can deal with that. Trouble is, the group doesn’t know how to deal with Warren. They haven’t had a new member in years, let alone one who is a real criminal, and it turns their cosy world upside down. Allegiances get tested, secrets come out, things go missing. And somebody in the group wants Warren gone.

Warren would rather be gone himself, but it’s not easy to get the job done with Sally following him around. She has big career plans, and they involve Warren. He’s not getting away that easily.
