GreeneStreet Grabs Copy of "Contortionist's Handbook"

GreeneStreet Films has optioned the novel "The Contortionist's Handbook" by Craig Clevenger. 

The suspense thriller centers on John Vincent  who was born with an extra ring finger on one hand. After years of ridicule by other children, his father gives him a magic book through which he learns slight-of-hand tricks that help him conceal his disfigurement from others. That, together with a sharp mind and a knack for replicating signatures and official documents, starts John on a path of petty crime. This life of identity theft, drugs, and crime continues in a downward spiral, until he falls in love with a woman and meets his match.
