AlbakiReads Editorial

A family mystery opens into espionage

Alex Rider’s investigation begins with a contradiction: his uncle’s death is called an accident, but the evidence suggests otherwise. Learning that Ian Rider worked for a secret British intelligence agency changes the stakes, and Alex is recruited to pursue the people responsible. The setup links a family loss to a world of espionage, placing a young protagonist inside a mystery with a spy-thriller framework. This edition also includes an Alex Rider short story and a letter from Anthony Horowitz.
