This tense, fast-moving, short thriller might make an acceptable early class-reader. There are plenty of cliff-hanging moments and high spots to make for easy serialisation and to keep interest going. Little did Tim know when he spied on the stranger in the street that the same man would be in Tim's house one night brandishing a loaded gun and keeping Tim and sister Sue captive. Revelation follows revelation and loyalties become confused as the pair battle with a determined, desperate criminal, who has more hold over them than they at first thought.
