Shadow Thieves: Island of Skulls (Shadow Thieves, Book 2)
Author: Peter Burns
Format: Paperback
Dare you step into the shadows once again?
Tom and his new friends from Beaufort’s School for Deceptive Arts are taken on a treasure-hunting trip to a private island in the Mediterranean once owned by the great villain himself, the Duke of Nimes. The Duke is said to have hidden a spectacular treasure in the warrens, tunnels and caves that pepper the island – as well as a terrifying weapon.
Will Tom’s street-smarts keep him and his friends alive as they chase down the treasure? And who are the deadly double agents that are sabotaging everything?
Trust no one. This is not a game.
