Alex Rider is back in this brand new, explosive mission in the number one bestselling series.


In this brand new, explosive adventure in the number one bestselling series, Alex Rider is trying to get his life back on track after the traumatic events of his last mission. But even Alex can’t fight the past … especially when it holds a deadly secret.

"One of the most dramatically ambitious of the novels so far… The suspense never slackens and the plot, even at its most far-fetched, is underpinned with nerdishly forensic detail.” The Daily Telegraph
