[Tracey · Rating 3 out of 5]

Mel is out looking for a tape of Quicksilver's first album for her mom's birthday in a really gritty looking area of Hudlum City. She witnesses a man being kidnapped and Mel gets dragged into a world of secret agents and a sinister plot to take over the world. I again loved the fast paced stories and the not-so-easy puzzles (I tried), but the inserts were in a very fine print and I found it difficult to read. Still and enjoyable story though.

Witness to a dramatic kidnap, Mel is plunged into a twilight world of gangsters and secret agents. A coded message leads her down into the sewers and subways, and up to the glitzy heights of Megabuck Towers in a bid to foil a sinster plot to take over the world.
Each book in this exciting series combines a gripping adventure story with fiendishly difficult puzzles. There are clues and answers at the back of each book. If you don't need to look at them you well be a genius.
