Book 116: Skeleton Key

In his third adventure, Skeleton Key, Alex is asked to be a ball boy at Wimbledon after a Chinese man was seen leaving the facility late at night.  Since the authorities couldn't figure out what the man had been doing, Alex was assigned undercover surveillance.  After successfully stopping the plan and injuring a member of the Chinese triad, another gang member attempts to kill him.  To keep Alex safe while MI6 finds a way to ensure the gang doesn't kill Alex, they loan him to the CIA, who are planning their own surveillance operation on a former Russian General who has reportedly recently purchased weapons grade nuclear material on the black market.  Alex job is supposed to be to have a vacation while his "parents" investigate;  but when they die Alex may very well be in his most dangerous assignment ever.

Another action packed and entertaining tale.  4 stars.
