Description

London, 1951: Clem Fatale, the youngest crook in the city, is on a mission to find her dad. Jimmy Fatale, notorious jewel thief and leader of the Spider Gang, has gone missing and with him the greatest prize in London: the Fool's Canary.

Along with her prisoner and/or sidekick Gilbert (depends who you're asking), Clem sets off on a rip-roaring chase through the London underworld. Racing through dodgy dives, glamorous nightclubs, greasy spoons and secret alleyways, Clem and Gilbert are soon pursued by a host of friends and foes.

Will Clem find her father in time Or will the most sinister villain this side of the river put a stop to all her plans

A rollicking middle grade series full of madcap escapades, fast-talking dames and unlikely heroes, perfect for fans of MURDER MOST UNLADYLIKE, ENOLA HOLMES, ADVENTURES ON TRAINS and Katherine Woodfine.

Reviews

I am tired of Eve Wersocki-Morris being the best-kept secret in children's literature. I want everyone to be reading her mysterious and mesmerizing books. Please do your part. * Lemony Snicket, author of A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS *
Unique, clever and heist filled. An absolute gem of a book that is equal parts irreverent, heart-warming and hilarious. I honestly laughed and smiled so much reading this that my face hurt! * A. F. Steadman, author of SKANDAR AND THE UNICORN THIEF *
A sparkling adventure with a truly splendid heroine ... an absolute treat! * Katherine Woodfine, author of the TAYLOR AND ROSE SECRET AGENT series *
An absolute blast for all hoodlums and good guys. Thrills and spills all the way - a huge amount of fun. * Sam Copeland, author of ALEX VS AXEL *
Gangsters, mystery, humour, unlikely friendships, a twisty adventure ... and the most gorgeous descriptions and dialogue. * Mel Taylor-Bessent, author of RACE TO IMAGINATION ISLAND *
It's cosy and riotous and atmospheric. The London underworld of 1951 explodes on to the page, and Clem Fatale, the youngest crook in the city, is a joy. * Nicola Penfold, author of WHERE THE WORLD TURNS WILD *
Stuffed with comedy set-ups and tickling dialogue, I guarantee this bobby dazzler will take you to the cleaners and rinse you of all your laughs. It will definitely steal your heart. I absolutely loved it. * Rachel Delahaye, author of MORT THE MEEK *
This high-octane adventure delivers fun, adventure, mystery, pulsating action and a brilliantly imagined cast of characters * Lancashire Post *
This is a fabulous new read packed with humour and dastardly adventure. I loved it! * Rachel Bolton, Read for Good *
Exhilarating and witty * Waterstones *
