Traces: Double Check

This is another in the series set in future time, featuring a teenage forensic detective and his brilliant, hovering computer helpmate, Malc. Wonderboy Luke investigates a heady blend of cigarette smuggling (banned activity), identity card fraud, gruesome deaths, male/female ‘pairings’ dictated by a central authority and a traumatised young man on Death Row.

It is a fast, exciting read with plenty of intrigue and tension that should have an appeal to boys and might nudge them into an exploration of the rest of the series.
