A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

A five-star mystery now in paperback!

Ted and Kat watched their cousin Salim board the London Eye, but after half an hour it landed and everyone trooped off—except Salim. Where could he have gone? How on earth could he have disappeared into thin air? Ted and his older sister, Kat, become sleuthing partners, since the police are having no luck. Despite their prickly relationship, they overcome their differences to follow a trail of clues across London in a desperate bid to find their cousin. And ultimately it comes down to Ted, whose brain works in its own very unique way, to find the key to the mystery.

This is an unput-downable spine-tingling thriller—a race against time.

★ “Everything rings true here, the family relationships, the quirky connections of Ted’s mental circuitry, and, perhaps most surprising, the mystery.” —Booklist, Starred

★ “The best mysteries have at their centers gifted but very human sleuths—their abilities balanced by equally significant flaws or idiosyncrasies. This one is no exception.” —The Horn Book Magazine, Starred

Quatrième de couverture :

Monday 24 May, 11:32 a.m.

Ted and Kate watch their cousin Salim get on board the London Eye. The pod rises from the ground.

Monday 24 May 12.02 p.m.

The pod lands and the doors open. People exit - but where is Salim?

When Aunty Gloria's son, Salim, mysteriously disappears from a sealed pod on the London Eye, everyone is frantic.

Has he spontaneously combusted?

[Ted's theory.]

Has he been kidnapped?

[Aunt Gloria's theory]

Is he even still alive?

[The family's unspoken fear.]

Even the police are baffled. Ted, whose brain runs on its own unique operating system, and his older sister, Kat, overcome their prickly relationship to become sleuthing partners. They follow a trail of clues across London in a desperate bid to find their cousin, while time ticks dangerously by . . .
