A van is found crashed and abandoned, with a cargo of brains, bones, blood and eyeballs still on board. Inspection of the ghastly collection soon identifies it as animal rather than human. Most are from endangered tigers and rhinos. Who or what could justify slaughtering animals on such a scale? This is a brilliant book from The Outer Reaches series, introducing a world with two species of humans. Written by award-winning author Malcolm Rose and featuring the sleuthing teenagers, detective Troy Goodhart and forensic specialist Lexi Iona Four, this story includes yet more excitingly gory crimes. Perfect for a teenage reader who wants a great book to get stuck into!
