It was a fiction boik. He stayed with sabinas family in scotland. A card game starts his adventures.

Brilliant book, excellently written. Loads of twists and exciting moments. There was never a slow section and at times it ran smoother than a film, with me able to visualise every second in real time, while read through 50 or 60 pages at a time. Amazing!

This is definitely my favourite book so far. My favourite character was Desmond McCain because he was a pretend do-gooder who had a very clever plan to get money. I reckon my friend would like this book.
