There are some good ideas in this thriller yarn; it seemed a let-down really to use them on drug-smuggling. However, I'm circulating it amongst my staff to assess its class-reader potential - 3rd year secondary? Jass entertains herself in the holidays illegally riding the London Underground trains, becoming quite the expert on its routes, nooks and crannies. Little does she know that she's being watched by someone who has far more massively illegal designs on her underground competence and intends to use Jass as an innocent-looking courier with a plastic bag!
