The Lock Artist by Steve Hamilton
Michael was so traumatized by a dramatic family incident when he was only 8 years old that he stopped speaking, and years later, he still hasn't started again. He has, however, discovered that he has an ability to pick locks...door locks, combination locks, tumbler locks, padlocks, and eventually, the locks on extremely expensive safes. As people start discovering his talent, they begin to use him for their own personal gain, and Michael is forced into a life of crime.
Michael tells the story of his life while serving a prison sentence for his final and biggest crime, waiting for the day when he is released and he can reconnect with the only person he has ever loved... and maybe, just maybe, speak again.
