Safecracker

More about the book

Dave McOmie is a safecracker so extraordinary and deft that banks and insurance companies pay him to open their safes. He leads an extraordinary life traveling the country breaking into safes thieves covet. And he gets paid very well to do it. Like a character in a Hitchcock movie, McOmie unlocks unopenable locks, deciphers unbreakable codes and penetrates seemingly impenetrable doors of vaults and safes. Along the way he has had many edge-of-your-seat adventures, including a recent job of unlocking the safe belonging to the late rock star, Prince. McOmie took the industry by storm, and his vivid descriptions of life as a master safecracker made him a popular columnist virtually overnight. His occupation is ruled, quite unforgivingly at times, by precise measurements for exploiting design vulnerabilities in safes and vaults. You either have these measurements -- known as drill points -- or you don't. McOmie has them, and readers of Safecracker will read them with armchair delight. McOmie is the safecracker's safecracker, a leading member of the elite cadre engaged in opening safes and vaults for banks, insurance companies and estates. He's a rock star in his profession, editor of International Safecracker magazine (50,000 subscribers) and webmaster for a worldwide forum. In Safecracker he explains what brought him to his unique brand of fame with stories of opening the world's toughest safes.
