Tomorrow City, by Kirk Kjeldson
Brendan Lavin has a gift, like an apple with a poison core. He can break into anything, whether it be stealing a car or cracking a safe. Nowhere is denied him. After a prison jolt, he never wanted to use that gift again, opened a bakery and found happiness. But the past doesn’t allow him to keep it. Years passed and then his former colleagues demanded his talents. It was crack a safe or lose the p

“Years ago, when I was working on my master's thesis, I went to New York for a semester as an exchange student. What struck me most was the sky. On that side of the world, so far away from the North Pole, the sky is flat and gray, a one-dimensional universe. Here, the sky is arched, and there's almost no pollution.
