Red Leech, is the second in the Young Sherlock Holmes series in which the iconic detective is reimagined as a brilliant, troubled and engaging teenager - creating unputdownable detective adventures that remain true to the spirit of the original books. Sherlock Holmes knows that Amyus Crow, his mysterious American tutor, has some dark secrets. But he didn't expect to find a notorious killer, hanged by the US government, apparently alive and well in Surrey - and Crow somehow mixed up in it. When no one will tell you the truth, sometimes you have to risk all to discover it for yourself. And so begins an adventure that will take Sherlock across the ocean to America, to the centre of a deadly web - where life and death are cheap, and truth has a price no sane person would pay . . . Sherlock Holmes. Think you know him? Think again. Continue the investigative adventures with Andrew Lane's Black Ice and Fire Storm.

Ben and Martie Marshall did not intend to be heroes when they rescued vacationing honeymooners from a capsized boat on Australia's Great Barrier Reef. But when a group of divers radios for help during a storm, the Coastal Patrol calls on the American teenagers to help with another daring rescue. Upon hearing of the ill-fated diving trip, some locals say it's the result of a deadly curse that has plagued Durgan's Reef for years. But the Marshalls prefer a natural explanation over a supernatural folk tale. With their new friends, including the coastal patrolmen, an eccentric librarian, a renowned marine biology professor, and a handsome Aussie teen, the Marshalls set out to solve the mystery. Before it's over, they must rely on their courage, their wits, and their faith in God to win their fight for survival against unforeseen dangers. Set against the dramatic backdrop of Australia's rugged coast, and the breathtaking beauty of the world's largest coral reef system, The Curse of Durgan's Reef paints a vivid portrait of heart-pounding adventure and life-or-death struggles amid the island continent's magnificent natural wonders.

So I agreed to play the part of Esther Rackham in a film about the heist that gave River Heights its name, and there was all this trouble on the set, and I figured out who was behind it. Case closed, right?
Wrong
Once the camera starts rolling, a huge fire breaks out on the set, setting back production "again." We're running out of time and funds. At least the fire turns up a key clue about who started it, but I'll have to continue juggling acting and sleuthing. Because it might be up to me to save this film from going up in flames....
