The Midnight Thief

"An old-school (in every sense) yarn... Bishop pulls

it off with humour and aplomb." Financial Times

A captivating boarding school mystery from Sylvia Bishop,

author of Erica's Elephant, The Bookshop Girl

and The Secret of the Night Train.

Transplanted from her exciting life as an explorer's daughter,

Freya finds herself miserable at a posh

boarding school. Freya hates all the boring rules, the

other girls are mean to her, and the headmistress is frosty good

manners personified.

When a bat removal expert is called in to deal

with an infestation, Freya meets his irrepressible children - and

finds herself making friends at last. Together they explore the

city, with particular interest in the grand exhibition

showing priceless artefacts for the first time.

When the objects are stolen in a dramatic heist,

Freya is sure her new friends are responsible - but the true

culprit might be closer to home...

Warm, witty and packed full of gorgeous characters, this is a

boarding school mystery with a twist.

Perfect for fans of Robin Stevens' Murder Most Unladylike

series
