The Lock Artist by Steve Hamilton
4.0
Well, looks like I read this in 2011 - no recollection of that!
This is the story of a young boy who is rendered mute after a horrific instance in his life when he was quite young. We don't find out the actual event until very late in the book.
Michael is a talented artist as well as someone who is very adept at picking locks. This lock-picking talent gets him involved with a seedy crowd. Along the way, he meets Amelia, who is also an artist. Through pictures they tell their story to each other.
It is told mainly in flashbacks, and you get a bit more of Michael's story through each chapter.
