**What people have said about The Shadow Arts:**

• “…Car chases and wrecks, sudden attacks, desperate battles, narrow squeaks, weird visions, and startling discoveries, not to mention the occasional blast of magic… Breathlessly paced adventure with rousingly eerie and icky notes.” – KIRKUS

ABOUT THE SHADOW ARTS

A few months ago, Alex’s world changed…forever. Now, just when it seems life is almost getting back to normal, Alex’s grandfather crashes back into the picture with grave news: their friend Harry has fallen into the clutches of a familiar foe, and the old man needs Alex’s help to rescue him.

This time, the duo’s desperate dash across Europe will lead them from Paris deep into Germany’s foreboding Black Forest, as they chase down the mystery Harry had been investigating when he disappeared. A series of art thefts has made headlines across the continent, but the thieves are after more than priceless paintings. In the wrong hands, these stolen artifacts could unlock an ancient secret bigger than anything Alex ever dreamed of. If they can’t solve the riddle in time, innocent lives – even history itself – could be at stake.
