crocodile tears alex rider.

again a fantastic book frem Alex rider. this time trouble stalks fourteen-year-old Alex Rider wherever he goes.Forcibly recruited after his uncle's sudden death by the MI6, this is his eighth mission yet. Alex is enjoying a normal lifestyle and when he accompanies his friend Sabina Pleasure and her father to a charity party hosted by Reverand Desmond McCain at Kilmore Castle in Scotland on New Year's Eve, he's not expecting anything unusual. He lands himself in a game of Texas Hold'em with the host himself and somehow, out of sheer luck, Alex wins the competition- grabbing what was almost McCain's victory. Later on, as Mr.Pleasure drives them back home, a terrifying accident occurs. Miraculously, they all survive but Alex is the only one who knows that the so-called accident wasn't necessarily an unfortunate coincidence but a gunshtot fired by a marksman. Who had deliberately orchestrad this plot? it is just a good writter and book. just read it ok
