Synopsis
London, 1938
Fifteen-year-old Arabella Swain and her cousin Humphrey are spending a long, hot summer under the watchful eye of their housekeeper Mrs McKay, completely unaware of the adventure and danger which await them.
At the heart of the mystery is a statue of a tiger, discovered by the teenagers’ grandfather; a famous archaeologist, and housed in the British Museum. The statue is linked to an ancient civilisation, and a long-lost book: together, these treasures prove to be a powerful force and the race is on to find the book as a sinister secret order seeks to steal the statue and harness its powers to take control of London.
It’s up to Arabella, along with Humphrey, their friend Tom and the indomitable Mrs McKay, to unravel the mystery and foil the evil plan. Bravery and cunning are key – but so is knowing who they can trust.
