Distrusting of police, the public and each other, Blink and Caution build a relationship that reinforces the power of trust and loyalty and the healing of common experience. Wynne-Jones creates a taut, realistic noir novel with adolescent protagonists Blink and Caution. Caution betrays the dangerous drug-dealing boyfriend that exposes her to the seedy underbelly of crime in Toronto and now she has cons you! Between your panic, her secrets and the dangerous favor you've promised to the daughter of the kidnapped VIP and CEO, how can you survive? Blink!
