Description

Christopher is 15 and lives in Swindon with his father. He has Asperger's syndrome, a form of autism. He is obsessed with maths, science, and Sherlock Holmes but finds it hard to understand other people. When he discovers a dead dog on a neighbor's lawn, he decides to solve the mystery and write a detective thriller about it. As in all good detective stories, however, the more he unearths, the deeper the mystery gets - for both Christopher and the rest of his family.
