This is the second thrilling adventure in the "Misfitz" series, about four children who share four parents and find themselves caught up in some very unusual mysteries. One afternoon, Frank comes home from school to an empty flat. His mother has disappeared. She isn't back that night. Or the next. Where has she gone? How will Frank find her? It's a job for the Misfitz. Together, they sneak out of their home, catch a train across the country and search for clues. They soon find themselves on the trail of a mysterious cult, led by a frightening figure known only as the Tiger.
The Misfitz are in Marrakech with Ben's father and his fiancee. When her diamond ring is stolen, the police quickly arrest a young local boy. But is he really the thief? The Misfitz don't think so. Searching the crowded bazaars of the fabled city for the true culprit, they soon find themselves in deadly danger. This is the third mystery in a thrilling new series from a very popular children's author. Praise for the series: 'Ben's family includes a dizzying number of stepbrothers and sisters, and their adventures during a summer holiday in the country involve trespassing on a sinister estate, captive monkeys and all the features that those who love Enid Blyton will fall on withlee, especially because it's much better written' - Amanda Craig, "The Times". 'A light, summery read that firmly takes the young reader - of either gender, happily - by the hand, and thrusts them deep into a realistic and perfectly formed mystery' - "Bookbag".
