Guest Post: How To Lead A Life Of Crime


Hello and Welcome!




"A meth dealer. A prostitute. A serial killer.
Anywhere else, they’d be vermin. At the Mandel Academy, they’re called prodigies. The most exclusive school in New York City has been training young criminals for over a century. Only the most ruthless students are allowed to graduate. The rest disappear.
Flick, a teenage pickpocket, has risen to the top of his class. But then Mandel recruits a fierce new competitor who also happens to be Flick’s old flame. They’ve been told only one of them will make it out of the Mandel Academy. Will they find a way to save each other—or will the school destroy them both?"

How to Lead a Life of Crime synopsis: 

A Meth Dealer. A Prostitute. A Serial Killer.
Anywhere else, they’d be vermin. At the Mandel Academy, they’re called prodigies. The most exclusive school in New York City has been training young criminals for over a century. Only the most ruthless students are allowed to graduate. The rest disappear.
Flick, a teenage pickpocket, has risen to the top of his class. But then Mandel recruits a fierce new competitor who also happens to be Flick’s old flame. They’ve been told only one of them will make it out of the Mandel Academy. Will they find a way to save each other—or will the school destroy them both?
 
Excerpt from the Mandel Academy course catalog:


Partnering with Corrupt Regimes
Sometimes the best partners are those with whom no one is allowed to work. The United States government has forbidden American companies to trade with countries it has labeled State Sponsors of Terrorism. Doing business with Iran, North Korea, and Burma may be tricky, but it’s far from impossible. And the profits can be astronomical. This semester, two of the Mandel Academy’s most illustrious graduates will be visiting this course as guest lecturers. For an entire week, these famous billionaire brothers will share their experiences making money in Iran.

  2. This book sounds really interesting! I'm definitely curious, but I think it's probably darker than what I'm looking for. The title makes it sound kind of 'fun' but the description sounds pretty dark and gritty.

  3. I've been wondering about this book since I saw it last week I've been seeing it all over blogs--selective looking or something? haha. It sounds really good anyways!
