Smart and tough, 12-year-old Clem Fatale is the youngest gangster in 1951 London. With her best friend Gilbert, Clem uses everything she’s learned from her jewel thief father and his gang to stop criminals in their tracks and solve even the most complex cases. In the second book in this delightful series, Clem and Gilbert are called upon to discover what happened to famous singer Betty Wade in a dastardly jewel theft turned kidnapping. Betty’s sister, Judy, and brother, Eddy, are desperate to know who managed to sneak into their theatre and abduct their sister.
In a city of glamour, intrigue and mystery, Clem and Gilbert take to the dark streets, historic picture houses, seedy jazz clubs and posh hotels to seek out their suspects and gather clues. This is a world where strangers definitely mean trouble – and sometimes acquaintances are even worse! Notorious criminals threaten Clem and Gilbert’s safety as they ask too many clever questions and keep pushing forward in the face of danger.
Comedy, tragedy and even music, this book has it all. Readers will be completely invested in the mystery as they spot clues and follow threads right along with these brilliant young detectives. Peppered with humour, Clem Fatale has been Betrayed is the perfect middle grade mystery – after all, “It takes a thief to find a thief.”
