Book overview
Beyond My Reach is a raw, street-level crime narrative that pulls readers into the hidden world of New York City's subway pickpockets, where survival depends on timing, nerve, and knowing how to disappear in plain sight. Set against the gritty backdrop of late-1970s New York and beyond, the book follows a tight-knit circle of young thieves navigating crowded trains, underground tunnels, and relentless pressure from the NYPD's Jostling Squad. Through vivid scenes and unforgettable characters, the story reveals how desperation, loyalty, and ambition collide in a city that never slows down, offering an unfiltered look at crime, consequence, and the thin line between freedom and capture, one stolen wallet at a time.
