British twins Rich and Jade Chance have come to accept that their
father works for British Intelligence, but they're not about to let
him have all the adventures in the family. On their way to a
vacation in Venice, John Chance completes a seemingly simple
mission for his superiors by helping an accountant to super-crooks
disappear into a new life. No mission is that easy, though. The
accountant, code-named "The Banker," turns up at the twins' private
school back in England, and in short order the school is taken over
by The Banker's former main client. Rich is kidnapped, and there
seems to be a mole in John's department. Rich and Jade use their
wits to solve the case and do away with the bad guys. This second
entry in Higgins and Richards's British spy-teens series is just as
much fun as the first (Sure Fire, 2007). These kids get by on
ingenuity rather than with gadgets. There's no deep character
development, and some moments stretch believability, but fans of
the series or the genre will be satisfied and ask for more.
(Thriller. 10-14) (Kirkus Reviews)
The phenomenally successful Jack Higgins teams up with Justin
Richards for another sure fire bestseller for children. A mafia
banker wants to defect and give evidence against his former bosses,
and John Chance's boss Ardman is handling the exchange. But when
the criminals realise they might be able to exert influence on
Chance by getting at his children, Rich and Jade, the twins find
themselves in the firing line. With a kidnapping in Venice and a
shoot-out at a private school in England, this sequel to SURE FIRE
will have both young and old Jack Higgins fans hooked.
