(Clare’s third adventure finds her on the island of Rhodes in the company of her mum, her mum’s friend, Emer, and Emer’s three-year-old son, Fergus. Some people think that Fergus is an angelic dote – but to Clare he’s the infant from hell! Instead of swimming, snorkelling and sketching in the sun, she finds herself being an unpaid baby-sitter to a demon child who spreads sticky things and sand all over her belongings.
Enter Grisa, a six-foot-tall sixteen-year-old chambermaid who never does any cleaning, talks in American slang, and buzzes around kamikaze-style on her moped. She and Clare devise a scheme to win money in a karaoke competition, but just as they’re getting into their stride, Fergus goes missing . . .
A child smuggling ring … a stranger with a sinister smile .. . Clare’s sketch of a suspect. . . crazy chases)
