“It is 1939. Nazy Germany. The country is holding its
breath. Death has never been busier, and will become busier still.
By her brother graveside, Liesel Meminger’s life is changed
when she picks up a single object, partially hidden in the snow. It is ‘The
Grave Digger’s Handbook’, left there by accident, and it is her first act of
book thievery. So begins a love affair with books and words, as Liesel, with
the help of her accordion-playing foster father, learns to read. Soon she is
stealing books from Nazi book-burning, the mayor’s wife’s library, wherever
there are books to be found.
But these are dangerous times. When Liesel’s foster family
hides a Jew in their basement, Liesel’s world is both opened up and closed
down.

Ed Kennedy is an underage cabdriver without much of a future. He's pathetic at playing cards, hopelessly in love with his best friend, Audrey, and utterly devoted to his coffee-drinking dog, The Doorman. His life is one of peaceful routine and incompetence until he inadvertently stops a bank robbery.
That's when the first ace arrives in the mail.
That's when Ed becomes the messenger.
Chosen to care, he makes his way through town helping and hurting (when necessary) until only one question remains: Who's behind Ed's mission.
