A scorching thriller set in the violent gangland underworld of the Snakeheads. Working undercover in Bangkok, Alex meets someone he can finally trust. But in the poisonous world of espionage, is there any such thing? The long-awaited seventh Alex Rider book is the most pulse-racing, hard-edged, suspenseful episode yet. Tapping into serious real-world issues such as international gangs and refugees, it’s a tough and topical read at a challenging length. With a teen spy star who has massive child recognition, this book unleashes a powerful bite that totally intoxicates.

Anthony Horowitz started writing because he wanted to be like Tintin. He has now travelled to all the places that Tintin has been – apart from the moon!

His Alex Rider series is one of the most popular children’s book series ever, and the first Alex Rider book, Stormbreaker, became a major Hollywood film. In 2003, Anthony won the Red House Children’s Book Award (voted for by children) for Skeleton Key.

He is also the author of the highly acclaimed Diamond Brothers detective stories, as well as the bestselling The Power of Five books, which were inspired by a simple thought. “Isn’t it more exciting to imagine these great battles with all their magic and mystery happening in the very high street where you live, just out of the corner of your eye?”

Anthony lives in central London with his wife Jill Green, a TV producer, and their sons Nicholas and Cassian. His whole family gets involved in his writing. Jill has produced several of Anthony’s scripts, including the drama serial Foyle’s War, which won the Lew Grade Audience Award in 2003. His son Cassian is already a seasoned actor, having appeared in three of his shows, and Nicholas, his oldest son, has helped Anthony to research the Alex Rider books by trying his hand at everything from scuba-diving to snowboarding and surfing!

In 2013, Anthony was awarded an OBE for services to literature..

    This book was really touching, because Alex gets betrayed by a lot of people.In the end he realizes his godfather Ash is working against him and the ASIS knew this from the start. The details were a bit boring though

    I loved this book so much!!! I like the way Horowitz made an unexpected twist at the end of the book, although it was quite hard to get into. But that was so worth it!!!!!!!!!!
