Christopher is 15 and lives in Swindon with his father. He has Asperger's Syndrome, a form of autism.
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.
