Publisher Description
Ben Hardacre enjoys a privileged existence until his family is forced to relocate to a poor part of the country when his father becomes obsessed with developing a radical new stealth sub boat. He hopes to sell his design to the navy and while he spends all hours of the day and night in his garage, perfecting his baby, the family is falling apart around him. Mrs Hardacre is about to leave him, his daughter has disowned him and his son Ben is struggling to cope with life in a tough new school. Ben's only friend, a genius classmate called Harry Carter, makes his life just a little more bearable. But that changes one Sunday afternoon when the self-obsessed nerd disappears without trace while alone with Ben at his plush home.
If Ben's life looked bleak before it now becomes a disaster as he finds himself the chief suspect in an inquiry run by a tough local detective, who is convinced he has murdered Harry. In desperation Ben teams up with local tough guy Russell Herrington to conduct his own investigation into the mysterious disappearance and soon finds himself up to his neck in a sinister operation that threatens to destroy him and many other teenagers around the country . As time runs out, caught between the police and the faceless group out to get him, he realises his only way out is too bizarre to take seriously, until fate takes a hand.
