Escapology is dangerous but not nearly as dangerous as real life . . . Think Alex Rider meets Houdini and you've got Max Cassidy. Escape From Shadow Island is the first book in this fantastic, fast and furious action-adventure series now re-packaged with a striking, current package.

'My mum killed my dad, then dragged his body all the way along the beach . . . I don't believe a word of it'

Max Cassidy is a teenage escapologist, so good he's nicknamed the Half-pint Houdini. His father disappeared two years ago and his body has never been found. His mother is now serving a life sentence for her husband's murder.

Max's mission to learn the truth about his family takes him on an thrilling journey, from London to the horrors of the terrifying Shadow Island in central America.

Escapology is dangerous but not nearly as dangerous as real life . . .

The first book in Paul Adam's fast and furious Max Cassidy thriller series.
