When the present offers no hope for the future, the answers may lie in
the past AJ Flynn has just failed all but one of his GCSEs, and his
future is looking far from rosy. So when he is offered a junior
position at a London law firm he hopes his life is about to change -
but he could never have imagined by how much. Tidying up the archive
one day, AJ finds an old key, mysteriously labelled with his name and
date of birth - and he becomes determined to find the door that fits
the key. And so begins an amazing journey to a very real and tangible
past - 1830, to be precise - where the streets of modern Clerkenwell
are replaced with cobbles and carts, and the law can be twisted to
suit a villain's means. Although life in 1830 is cheap, AJ and his
friends quickly find that their own lives have much more value.
They've gone from sad youth statistics to young men with purpose - and
at the heart of everything lies a crime that only they can solve. But
with enemies all around, can they unravel the mysteries of the past,
before it unravels them? A fast-paced mystery novel by one of the
country's finest writers, and a UKLA Book Awards 2016 shortlisted
title, THE DOOR THAT LED TO WHERE will delight, surprise and mesmerise
all those who read it.
