The Shadow Run

In the sleepy Cathedral town of Whycliffe nothing much ever happens.

Life at the private boys’ prep school that Joffrey attends seems equally uneventful - until one day on the street outside he sees blood running from the back of a white van.

But eleven-year-old Joffrey has few friends. He is also a notorious liar, so his tormentors know better than to believe his tall tale.

But what if he is right?

Unknown to Joffrey, the criminal underworld is hatching a plot to steal money-printing paper on its way to the Bank of England, right in the middle of sleepy Whycliffe.

It will be worth a fortune.

The most hardened criminal of them all, Haskell, is determined that the plan succeed, no matter what the cost.

And Joffrey is about to find himself dangerously on his own and caught up in the terrifying conspiracy...

And he will need to grow up fast if he is to stay alive.

'The Shadow Run' is a pulsating crime thriller that will keep readers hooked from the first page to the last.
