Archie Blake thought his policeman father teaching him to pick locks and break into safes was just a bit of fun. But when a diamond necklace is stolen and Dad is arrested, Archie realises the only way to uncover the truth is to go on the run and use everything he's learned.


Archie soon finds himself tangled in a web of deceit - lies that go deeper, and are closer to home, than he could have ever imagined. In a world where it's hard to know who to trust and even harder to see what's right or wrong, will Archie be able to find a way out before it's too late?

This explosive new adventure from the author of the thrilling and unputdownable Running Out of Time is perfect for fans of Alex Rider.
