The secret is out and the hunt is on In the nonstop sequel to Jimmy Coates: Assassin, eleven-year-old Jimmy is in hiding from NJ7, the British intelligence agency that designed and programmed him to be a superassassin. The agency has plans for Jimmy-but, regardless of his programming, he's determined not to become a killer. If he won't cooperate, he has to run. But escaping just got harder-there's another teenage assassin out to find him. This boy is just like Jimmy, except he plans to fulfill his mission to kill.
"Rather than simply offering an exciting thriller, Craig explores deeper themes: it is Jimmy's human side, his inventiveness and ability to relate to people, that keeps him alive through the action-packed chases and escapes that fill the pages."
