The Decoy (The Felix Haythornthwaite Files, Band 1) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

When sixteen-year-old trainee reporter, Felix Haythornthwaite, has a chance encounter with a beautiful young woman at Preston station, he thinks his luck is in. But following her surprise arrest on the platform, and the discovery that he's taken her bag home by mistake, Felix and his feckless brother, Freddie, are dragged kicking and screaming into a murky world of kidnapping, murder and deceit. Nothing like this has ever happened before in the dead-end Lancashire resort of Frecklesall-on-Sea, a town surprisingly shortlisted for the prestigious UK City of Culture award. Felix should be reporting on Frecklesall's Culture bid for local rag, the Lancastrian Bugler - filing copy on the local nursing home's armchair aerobics team and the antics of the Frecklesall & District Wild West Society. Instead, he finds himself in the middle of a terrifying life or death struggle involving a ruthless international crime cartel, a kick-ass tribal princess and some industrial strength laxatives. The story could be a global exclusive, a dream start for a young reporter - even one as petrified and incompetent as Felix Haythornthwaite - the question is, will he live long enough to break it?
