When a friend and former classmate of his, Danny Maguire, winds up dead, Max Gordon is left a package and an email from the deceased. Inside the package is a Khipu, a secret message encoded in string, and an email saying that the boy had information about Max’ s missing mother. When an assassin shows up at his boarding school, Max is forced to run away and follow the trail that Danny Maguire left behind. Can Max escape the assassin? What really happened to his mother?

A fast-paced, action-packed adventure for reluctant readers. The characters are well-developed. The plot is intense and entertaining. Readers who like adventure, spies, and life and death situation will enjoy reading this book.
