The Paradise Plot

A fast and funny international conspiracy adventure, packed with gadgets, a tropical island and a dangerous megalomaniac trying to take over the world. Winston Wright is an antihero like Fowl, caught up in a plot worthy of Rider—but much funnier. Moving away from the tired old stereotypes, his nemesis is a girl, and a very cool one at that. Mooching his way into the snootiest public school is just Winston's first step towards becoming the most powerful man in Britain. Getting close to cabinet minister Sir Giles Lushington, who happens to be the school bully's dad, Winston becomes the Prime Minister's favorite Monopoly partner—just as the whole cabinet is busted for bribes from shadowy billionaire Sheik Al Yamani. The Sheik soon turns out to be a front for the mysterious Brigham Hope, who, Winston's cunning snooping reveals, is helping Sir Giles into the PM's job and in return expects to get their hands on Paradise Island, the site of a fabulous mineral that can provide unlimited energy for the entire world.
