Fair Game Summary

Fair Game by Josephine Poole

Sinister terrors and a strange quest on a fogbound island where nothing is as it seems. This is another fast-paced, scary story featuring Peter and Katya, who are visiting Katya's father at his small pub/hotel on a remote Scottish island. But they bargain without their encounters with a priest in the ancient island cult of St Numnah, art thieves in pursuit of priceless treasures - and the story of the island's religious relic 'the Heart of St Numnah'.

Dangers abound with human baddies, gales and suffocating fog on an island already clouded with the terrors of its prehistoric cairns and standing stones ... Peter and Katya must again pit courage and wits against bizarre villains in a frantic race against time.

Fair Game Reviews

Of her previous books:
'The tension is slyly added to, touch by chill touch, and any but the toughest readers is going to shudder ... The story is a constant pleasure to read, for the way words are chosen and used.'

* TES *
'Marvellous stuff. If you give these sorts of books to your children, you'll find them come back asking for more. * BBC Woman's Hour *
Another remarkable book where the exact nature of the thing which lifts it above the ordinary is not easy to define. Perhaps the only difference is in the quality of the writing itself, and the subtle build-up of tension to a pitch of sustained menace.' * Times Literary Supplement *
