Product description

When a small-time crook suddenly has BIG money on his hands, the police want to know where it came from. James’s latest CHERUB mission looks routine: make friends with the bad guy’s children, infiltrate his home and dig up some leads for the cops. But the plot James unravels is much more complex than anyone expected. It seems that the only person who knows the truth is a reclusive teenage boy. There’s just one problem. The boy fell from a rooftop more than a year earlier. Now James is trying to solve a baffling crime whose only witness is dead.

Robert Muchamore was born in Islington in 1972 and spent thirteen years working as a private investigator. He was inspired to create the CHERUB series by his nephews complaints about the lack of anything for them to read!

The CHERUB series launched in 2004 with Robert’s debut novel CHERUB: The Recruit. It went on to win the Red House Children’s Book Award in 2005 and Richard & Judy’s Children’s Book Club in 2007 and has now been turned into Hodder’s first graphic novel. The central character James Adams enjoyed 12 CHERUB adventures, retiring as an active agent in CHERUB: Shadow Wave. In August 2011, CHERUB launched People’s Republic – a brand new story arc following the lives of new recruits Ryan and Ning with Guardian Angel publishing in August 2012.

In 2009, Henderson’s Boys was launched, taking readers back to the very first CHERUB adventure and explaining how Charles Henderson established the CHERUB organisation. His latest series is Rock Wars.

    Really great book! I’m currently reading this and enjoying it! This is indeed a hard crime to solve as the person who can give them all of the answers is dead!! The plot is great! :) I feel sorry for James though at some points in it, because he is having relationship doubts and troubles! I enjoy seeing Dave again after his Last appearence in ‘CHERUB:Maximum Security’! He never fails to make me laugh. The book is thrilling, funny and will keep you on the edge of your seat at times! :) I wonder what will happen in the end of this book! I want to know how they will solve this crime, but I guess I will just have to read on and find out! :) DEFINITELY RECOMMEND, GREAT BOOK! (Mainly for 10 yrs + though,as it containes relationships,little violence and swearing every now and then~) Overall, Great!
