Ruby and her stepbrother Lucas have, at best, a tenuous relationship, but when they make a shocking discovery – a body no less – they must work together to solve a chilling crime. A series of break-ins and mysterious disappearances puzzle Ruby and Lucas, who question the routine explanations given by the police, too easily accepted by their parents. Following a trail of clues, Ruby and Lucas find themselves at a sumptuous wedding where all is definitely not as it seems, in a deadly car chase through the snow, and lost in a safari park at night – on the wrong side of the chain-link fence! As the night closes in and the danger draws ever nearer, can Ruby and Lucas solve the mystery or will there be yet another murder at snowfall? A page-turning middle-grade whodunit with a cast of potential suspects which will keep readers guessing until the very end. Suitable for ages 9+.
