Middle-grade fiction (9 to 12 years)

The perfect thriller for the long, hot school holidays.

It's a long, hot summer. As the water drains away from the reservoir, a car emerges. And there seems to be a body in it, a body that then disappears... Daniel and Florence start to investigate and uncover a long-ago robbery, missing gold and murder. When the drought breaks, everything is swept downstream and the truth is revealed...

Another thriller from the brilliant author of Murder at Midwinter.
