Christopher is 15 and lives in Swindon with his father. He is obsessed with maths, science and Sherlock Holmes but finds it hard to understand other people. When he discovers a dead dog on a neighbour's lawn he decides to solve the mystery and write a detective thriller about it. As in all good detective stories, however, the more he unearths, the deeper the mystery gets - for both Christopher and the rest of his family.

Wondrous...brilliantly inventive...dazzling. Not simply the most original novel I've read in years - it's also one of the best
