Synopsis: &‘I enjoyed everything about Damien Love&’s debut—its title, its breakneck action, its sly sense of humour. I wish my first novel had been as imaginative and assured.&’ Anthony Horowitz, bestselling author of the Alex Rider series When twelve-year-old Alex receives an old tin robot in the post, the note from his grandfather simply reads: &‘This one is special&’. But as strange events start occurring around him, it doesn&’t take Alex long to suspect that the small toy is more than special; it might also be deadly. Just as things are getting out of hand, Alex&’s grandfather arrives, whisking him away from his otherwise humdrum life and into a world of strange, macabre magic. From Paris to Prague, they flee across snowy Europe in a quest to unravel the riddle of the little robot, and outwit relentless assassins of the human and mechanical kind. How does Alex&’s grandfather know them? And can Alex safely harness the robot&’s power, or will it fall into the wrong, wicked hands?
