Synopsis

‘Get back on the bus!’ One of the policemen was walking towards them holding his pistol.
Haroun flicked on his helmet-lamp and peered in through the window of the car. Claude Gerard was dead!

When the Director of the Saharan uranium mine where he works is mysteriously murdered, fourteen year-old Haroun embarks on a dangerous new role as a spy in the service of the French Government.
