Jamie Creeden has always wanted to be a reporter – so when he is given a tour of the famous MORNING YORKER newspaper, he can’t believe his luck. But a chance phone call draws him into the mystery of the missing actress. Soon Jamie, along with his new friends Eve and Rose, must navigate a tense world of infamous villains, double crosses and carefully planted clues – a world in which he can trust absolutely no one. He still longs to be on the front page – but at what cost?
Set in 1960s New York, this is a fast-paced adventure for mystery fans. Reviews"A deliciously atmospheric adventure crime caper" - Angles & Urchins
"A clever and slick mystery, wonderfully atmospheric and downright entertaining" - Book Lover Jo "Bishop writes with an assured confidence, imbuing her characters and her insights with warmth. She has a style that brings the essence of a children’s world into a larger view of right and wrong, so that the reader feels secure in the familiarity of the adventure, whilst at the same time having their horizons broadened... Effortless and yet brilliant. Another triumph." - MinervaReads "Brilliantly tight writing, this is fabulous stuff" - Read it Daddy "Playful yet intelligent style... This will feed the appetite of mystery readers, while the deeper questions the book explores make it a good choice for readers who are less familiar with the genre" - Book Murmuration Read more in my interview with Kevin Cobane over at the Reading Realm |
