A new nailbiter from the bestselling author of Two Wolves, The Fall and Detention. "Make sure you start this well before bedtime because you wont want to stop." Morris Gleitzman If your mum was a cop and your dad was a crim who needed your help to commit a crime, would you do it to save him? At what cost? Nash Hall's dad is a criminal who just can't seem to go straight. He wants Nash to help him commit a robbery. A big one. The trouble is, Nash's mum is a cop. And the robbery is at Nash's school. But Dad owes a lot of money to some very dangerous people and if Nash doesn't help him do the job, it could cost both their lives. ____________________________________________ Praise for Tristan Bancks- 'Gripping and unpredictable, with a hero you won't forget.'
