Deadlock

About this book

Archie Blake can pick locks. Since his mum died, he and his police officer dad have had races to see who can break into a safe the fastest. But now his dad has been arrested for stealing a diamond necklace and Archie’s on the run. He needs to use his unusual skills and his quick reactions to prove his dad’s innocence. He only has 48 hours. And he’s in Brighton, with only one clue to follow. Enlisting the help of a girl called Bunny, Archie is drawn into investigating a criminal gang in a desperate race to find the evidence that his dad has been framed. But could there be more to the mystery than Archie realises?

A fast-paced thriller that is relentlessly action-packed, this is a fantastic read. It is not only full of dangerous stunts and real peril, but it explores the choices we make and who to trust.
