Quan la tieta Gloria i el seu fill Salim venen a Londres des de Manchester, camí cap a Nova York, es queden a la casa de la germana de Gloria, Faith, que viu amb el seu marit i els seus fills, Kat, una noia adolescent, i Ted, de 12 anys i una mica especial. Al dia següent els nois i les seves mares van a la nòria de Londres, el London Eye i mentre les mares prenen cafè, els joves fan cua per comprar el tiquet. Però un desconegut es penedeix abans de pujar i els hi regala el seu tiquet i en Salim, per guanyar temps, puja sol. En Ted i la Kat el veuen pujar a la cabina però no el veuen surtir. Durant uns dies, paral·lelament a la investigació de la policia, Ted i Kat intenten solucionar el misteri pel seu compte.

11.32am. Ted and his sister Kat watch their cousin Salim get on board the London Eye. The pod rises from the ground, high above the city.

12.02am. The pod lands and the doors open. Everyone exits - everyone but Salim.

Has he been kidnapped? (Aunt Gloria's theory.)
Is he even still alive? (The family's unspoken fear.)

Even the police are baffled - so it's up to Ted, whose brain runs on its own unique operating system, to solve this mystery and find Salim.

Teaming up with Kat, Ted follows a trail of clues across London - while time ticks dangerously by...

Now featuring a new introduction from Robin Stevens, author of the bestselling Murder Most Unladylike novels.
