Tom and his friends must race to find the box’s final key, to prevent a deadly doom stone destroying London.

Tom Friday was never meant to be a magic-guarding, artefact-finding, ultra-brave secret agent. But on a visit to the Natural History Museum he gets embroiled in the world of the Questers Academy – protectors of mythical treasures from around the world. Questers student Leesha is determined to be the youngest ever agent for Questers, but first she’ll need to prove her worth. That’s where Tom comes in. Tom is a super-recogniser, someone with the ability to pick out people from a crowd after barely glimpsing them for a moment. Together Leesha is sure they can solve a complex and intriguing quest: to find the key to the mythical Box of Locks, before it falls into the wrong hands.  Faced with a bunch of complicated ciphers and coded clues, the new friends must learn to trust each other in order to beat the forces of darkness and save the world from potential apocalypse. A gripping, fast-paced adventure story perfect for fans of The London Eye Mystery and The Adventures on Trains series.
