Meet Itch - an accidental, accident-prone hero. Science is his weapon. Elements are his gadgets. All-action adventure perfect for fans of Alex Rider and Young Bond.
Itchingham Lofte - known as Itch - is fourteen, and loves science, especially chemistry. He's also an element-hunter: he's collecting all the elements in the periodic table. Which has some interesting and rather destructive results in his bedroom.
Then, Itch makes a discovery. A new element, never seen before. At first no one believes him - but soon someone hears about the strange new rock and wants it for himself. And Itch and his family are catapulted into a breathless adventure with terrifyingly high stakes . . .
The debut novel from BBC radio presenter Simon Mayo.

Лондонский час пик становится смертельным для семи пассажиров: женщина зарезана на рыночной площади у вокзала Юстон, мужчине нанесен смертельный удар на ступенях метро, а другого поджидали на пороге дома... Всего семь человек. Семь убийств.
Для Фэйми Мэдлен — опытной журналистки агентства "АйПиСи" — эта страшная новость могла бы стать главным информационным поводом дня и захватывающей работой. Но все меняется, когда она понимает, что объединяет жертв. Каждого из них она знала лично. Эти люди — ее коллеги, журналисты из отдела расследований.
Никто не может даже предположить, почему они стали мишенью для нападения. Над чем они работали, что их ждала такая страшная смерть? Странно и то, что на их столах и в их компьютерах не осталось никаких подсказок.
Вскоре Фэйми начинает получать загадочные сообщения, и ей предстоит выяснить, предупреждают ли ее о следующем нападении, чтобы она смогла его остановить, или запугивают, намекая, что следующей жертвой станет она сама...
