under suspicion. He records each fact in the book he is writing to
solve the mystery of who murdered Wellington. He has an
extraordinary brain and is exceptional at maths, but he is
ill-equipped to interpret everyday life. He has never ventured

distrusts strangers. But Christopher's detective work, forbidden by
his father, takes him on a frightening journey that turns his world
upside-down. This educational edition in Methuen Drama's Critical
