As charming as it is enthralling, Bishop's page-turning mystery novel revolves around a missing diamond and a plucky young girl on a train ride across Europe, and throws everything from undercover detectives to ruthless smugglers into the delightful mix.
One small girl - one BIG adventure.
When Max is sent to Istanbul to stay with her boring Great Aunt-Elodie, little does she expect to be plunged into a thrilling night-time adventure across Europe. And when the mysterious Heartbreak Diamond goes missing, Max must find her feet in a whirling world of would-be diamond smugglers, thieves and undercover detectives.
Will she discover the real diamond thief before they reach their destination? Or does the answer lie closer to home...
Perfect for fans of The Wolf Wilder and Cogheart, this is Sylvia Bishop writing at her quirky, brilliant best.
